Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Law & Order: SVU for season 21? The ratings are still pretty good for an NBC series in today’s landscape. I think it is likely to be renewed for season 21, unless the team decides to end the show, or there’s a disagreement on money. Since that’s just speculation, I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with new developments. Subscribe for free updates on any Law & Order: SVU cancellation or renewal news.
3/29/19 update: NBC has renewed Law & Order: SVU for a historic 21st season.
