NBC has renewed most, but not all, shows from its two biggest franchises for the 2024-25 season.
The network has ordered new seasons of its three chicago dramas— Medium, Fire and P.S. – With Law and Law & Order: SVU. It should be noted that the list lacks Law & Order: Organized Crime, whose status is “still under discussion,” according to NBC. All six series come from Wolf Entertainment and Dick Wolf’s Universal Television.
SVU will add to its record as the longest-running primetime drama in American television history with a 26th season in 2024-25, while Law – which recently saw the departure of series member Sam Waterston – will air for its 24th issue. Chicago Med will reach double digits with its tenth season, Fire will air on the 13th and P.S. It’s the 12th.
Long-tail ratings for all five renewed series have increased substantially compared to last season: according to NBC, Chicago fire averages 12.6 million viewers across all platforms over five weeks of viewing, while P.S. draw 12 million and Medicine amounts to 10.5 million. Law & Order: SVU averages 11.2 million viewers over 35 days, and Law contributes 7.7 million. (Organized crime has 8.4 million viewers in five weeks).
Organized crimewhich is much more serialized than its companion Law shows, was initially set as a midseason entry on NBC’s 2023-24 schedule, before last year’s dual labor strikes set the entire franchise back. It debuted in January along with the other two series. The series has also gone through five different showrunners in its four seasons, with John Shiban leading the current run.
