The Law & Order franchsie is expanding again. After a blockbuster launch of new series Organized Crime, Dick Wolf's longest-running franchise is adding an eight series, titled Law & Order: For the Defense, to the family. This series is a joint venture between Wolf and CSI alum Carol Mendelsohn, and has been given a straight-to-series order. It has yet to be determined if it will air in the 2021-22 season. It will explore a different angle of the criminal justice system, focusing on the defense instead of the prosecution and police. No cast has been announced for the series at this time. This order comes after years of NBC attempting to get a different Law & Order spinoff, Hate Crimes, up and running.
