Created by Emmy® Award-winner Dick Wolf, the iconic original "Law & Order" returns for a new season of ripped-from-the-headlines stories chronicling the NYPD detectives who investigate crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. The difficult task of apprehending suspects falls to returning Det. Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan), incoming Det. Jalen Shaw (new cast member Mehcad Brooks) and veteran Lt. Kate Dixon (Camryn Manheim), while the lawyers seeking justice in the courtroom include legendary District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) Executive Assistant District Attorney Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Assistant District attorney Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi).
