By Jessica White

Season 24 of Law & Order is back!

How to Watch

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

Following a gripping fall finale, Season 24 has delivered some pulse-pounding drama both in and out of the courtroom. Squad room newbie Lt. Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney) has wasted no time settling in as she joined forces with Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) to crack whatever befuddling case comes their way. For weeks, viewers have waited for the courtroom craziness to return amid the show's midseason hiatus, and at long last, the waiting is Dun Dun.

"Something we're sort of emphasizing this year is trying to learn more about some of our characters," Law & Order showrunner 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 I think that we're trying, on certain episodes, to dig just a little bit deeper into who our people are and see how their personal lives intersect with their professional lives."
