It seems unlikely to be cancelled again especially ahead of a milestone season but you never know. Will Law & Order be cancelled or renewed for season 25? Stay tuned.
A legal drama series, the Law & Order TV show stars Reid Scott, Mehcad Brooks, Maura Tierney, Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, and Tony Goldwyn. Guests include Ryan Eggold and SVU’s Mariska Hargitay and Elizabeth Marvel.
