Everything to Know About Law & Order Season 24
Stay caught up with the squad by watching Law & Order Thursdays on NBC.
Law & Order is back! Season 24 has boasted more of the ripped-from-the-headlines stories that fans have come to know and love, but has also delivered some new insight into the beloved characters who investigate and prosecute the complicated cases.
“Something we’re sort of emphasizing this year is trying to learn more about some of our characters,” Law & Order executive producer, showrunner and writer Rick Eid told NBC Insider. “It’s still Dick Wolf’s Law & Order and there’s still compelling, topical cases every week and ethical and moral dilemmas every week, but we’re trying, on certain episodes, to dig just a little bit deeper into our people and seeing how their personal lives intersect with their professional lives.”
For the detectives at the 27th Precinct, that's included getting to know their new lieutenant, Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney), and crossing paths early in the season with Detective Vincent Riley’s (Reid Scott) brother, played by New Amsterdam’s Ryan Eggold. Over at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, new DA Nicholas Baxter (Tony Goldwyn) has settled into his new post after a tight election.

Who’s in the Season 24 Law & Order cast?
Season 24 sees the addition of a new face at the precinct. Lieutenant Jessica Brady, played by television and film veteran Maura Tierney, is the squad's new boss.
According to Eid, Brady is a “real straight shooter,” who picks up on things that many detectives may not see.
“Unlike most lieutenants, I think she still thinks and acts like a detective and is more engaged day-to-day than most lieutenants — meaning she's active in interrogations and almost acts like another detective as opposed to a supervisor,” he told NBC Insider.
Brady has worked closely with Detectives Riley and Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks). Over at the prosecutor’s office, District Attorney Nicholas Baxter (Goldwyn), who was appointed to the job in Season 23, is fresh off his election win and eager to make his political mark.
Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Assistant District Attorney Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi) have also returned to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
