Law & Order Season 25: Premiere Date, Cast Changes & Story
Law & Order, the TV show about crime, is coming back for its 25th season!
The new season starts on September 25th.
One of the detectives, played by Mehcad Brooks, won't be in the new episodes.
The show will pick up where the last season left off, with questions about a character named Samantha and her involvement in a case.
You can watch it on NBC, and the next day on Peacock.
The show is known for telling stories that are mostly self-contained, but this season, the mystery from last year will continue.
Many of the original cast members will return.
Each episode will combine the cases of the week, and ongoing character arcs, keeping viewers invested in the drama.
Law & Order Season 25 premieres on NBC on September 25th.
Mehcad Brooks, who played Detective Jalen Shaw, will not return.
