By Jessica White

Season 25 of Law & Order has been a rollercoaster watch as the passionate 27th Precinct closes case after case, and viewers can't wait to see what happens next. 

How to Watch

Watch Law & Order Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock

From the gripping criminal chases to the explosive courtroom showdowns, Law & Order's formula has kept audiences hooked for decades. So far this season, the detectives have faced several nefarious foes, crossed paths with many iconic guest stars, and continued to prove why Law & Order has maintained its chokehold on audiences for so long. With 35 years of franchise thrills behind him, series creator Dick Wolf opened up about the joys of Law & Order's mythic legacy.

"I woke up the other day and realized, 'My God, it’s been 35 years since the start of Law & Order," Wolf told the L.A. Times. "I remember the day after it went on and the reviews came in... They were all raves, four stars. It was unbelievable... To say I was born under a lucky star would be a massive understatement. It’s been surprising and gratifying."

Amid the squadroom shake-ups and gripping murder investigations on Season 25 of Law & Order, showrunner Rick Eid told Give Me The Remote that viewers can expect some drama this season as we learn more about the detectives' lives outside of the precinct.

“I think the audience will feel like it’s still the Law & Order they know," Eid told Give Me The Remote. "There are some differences... We’re going to continue from last season with more character stories. This season, we’ll meet Price’s girlfriend. Riley’s brother is back for an episode. We’ll meet Lieutenant Brady’s [second] son. So, a little more character, but it’s still Law & Order; the structure remains the same. We’ll try to make this a season worthy of the legacy."
