Law & Order season 23 preview

If NBC's Wednesday line-up is all about Chicago, with the triple-header of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD and Chicago Med, the network shifts its attentions to Law & Order on Thursdays with three hit police procedurals.

Law & Order season 23 premiered on NBC on Thursday, January 18. Top-level details pertaining to storylines – and even the number of installments in the run – are under lock and key for the time being, but forensics are indicating that something major is in the works for the upcoming milestone 500th episode.

Dick Wolf's long-running show follows police officers (such as Camryn Manheim's Lieutenant Kate Dixon) who investigate crime, and district attorneys (like Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy) who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. Dun-dun.

Dixon's NYPD team has had a shakeup for Law & Order season 23, with Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) bowing out, and new detective Vincent Riley (Veep star Reid Scott) joining the team as his replacement. If he's anything like Veep's Dan Egan, a wolf may be about be let loose in the department.
