On Thursday, January 18th… the "DUN-DUN" is back! With executive producer Dick Wolf's "Law & Order" universe set to return to NBC next week, we've got a look at what you can expect from the Sam Waterston-starring flagship series, the Mariska Hargitay-starring "SVU, and the Christopher Meloni-starring "Organized Crime." Along with the newest trailer (which you can check out above), we have overviews for the three season-opening episodes.

Bell hires an advisor whose AI technology program could revolutionize police investigation. Jet and Reyes struggle with Whelan's absence. Directed by Jon Cassar and written by John Shiban & Amy Berg.
Law & Order: Organized Crime Becomes a Family Affair
Back in December 2023, we learned that Dean Norris (Breaking Bad, Under the Dome) had been tapped for a major recurring role for a multi-episode arc. Norris' Randall Stabler is Stabler's older brother who left the family when he was young and now is a successful real estate developer – but Randall has a long-standing tension with Elliot resulting from an event involving their father. In addition, initial reporting describes Stabler's other brother, Joe Jr., as being the youngest brother, who spent 15-ish years in the Army before being dishonorably discharged (though he hasn't said exactly why). He now works for a British wine merchant, doing a little of this, a little of that — and there's something about the work that makes him ashamed to come face-to-face with Elliot, his hero. In addition, the spinoff also sees John Shiban (Ozark) taking over as the show's sixth showrunner.
