Law & Order's Season 24 cast adds newcomer Maura Tierney and promises the return of Tony Goldwyn
Eggold isn't the only newcomer making their way to NBC's long-running crime drama. Maura Tierney has joined the Law & Order cast as the 27th precinct's new lieutenant, Jessica Brady. The Twisters star is sure to shake up the squad room's dynamic as this mysterious new character settles in.
"[The lieutenant position is] traditionally more of a supervisory role, but this particular character still likes being a detective because she's a little bit more engaged than your typical lieutenant," Law & Order showrunner Rick Eid told The Wrap ahead of the Season 24 premiere. "She still interrogates, she still thinks like a detective, so she's definitely actively involved in the cases. She's a little idiosyncratic. She has a bit of a gift for interrogations and picking up on minutia and certain things that maybe other detectives don't."
Tony Goldwyn will also return as a series regular after being introduced in Season 23 as the replacement to the beloved District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston). Bidding farewell to a Law & Order legend is never easy, but the squad is in good hands with District Attorney Nicholas Baxter at the helm.
"A top priority of mine is gonna be to get people back on the same page," Baxter told Price during his Law & Order debut. "This office is part of a system and that system works most effectively when it works together, especially when it comes to my senior staff. I need to know that I have a team I can trust."
Law & Order returns October 3 to NBC and will occupy its regular time slot: Thursdays at 8/7c.
