The long-running crime procedural will be ushered back into our screens as Law & Order Season 24 will return on October 3, 2024. In tandem with the runtime of Law & Order: SVU, this program continues to draw an audience into its legal and moral dilemmas.

Changes start with the introduction of Maura Tierney as Lieutenant Jessica Brady. She will bring different dynamics to the precinct. As NBC continues its packed schedule, Law & Order is to compete against other hits, such as Yellowstone and Landman, yet all factors point towards securing its place atop the ratings again.

There's going to be excitement as they tackle intense, new cases. A new season of Law & Order also just so happens to highlight deeper character development, especially with a crossover event involving Captain Olivia Benson from SVU.

Peacock offers a free version with ads and a paid version, which allows access to more extensive content and does not air commercials. Either way, you can stream episodes of Law & Order the day after they air.

For cord-cutters or those outside the U.S., services like YouTube TV or Sling TV offer NBC live streaming options. Episodes are available on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play.


Law & Order Season 24 promises an SVU crossover

There seems to be no shortage of high-profile events in Law & Order Season 24; among them is the long-waited crossover of Law & Order: SVU. An episode of Season 24 that will air on October 10, 2024, is titled 'The Perfect Man'. It is confirmed to guest-star Captain Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargitay.

This event marks a big moment for die-hards who have been clinging to the Law & Order universe for quite some time. Benson's past link with the defendant will make her an unexpected defense witness. She will find herself in a situation where she is seen killing the founder of an AI-infused dating app.

According to showrunner Rick Eid, the story will explore the moral and ethical dilemmas Benson faces and build from another dimension of her personality. This crossover will bring drama for Benson and the rest of the cast as they continue tackling this case and figuring out how to bring Benson to justice.

Along with Hargitay, other familiar faces pop up throughout the season to connect the Law & Order universe. The crossover episodes aim to show fans how characters from the different shows are interrelated in ways that unpack the narrative and provide new facets of long-standing relationships.


Law & Order Season 24 airs on Thursday nights and is available through streaming services.
