NBC has picked up another “Law & Order” spinoff, this time going inside a criminal defense firm.
Titled “Law & Order: For the Defense,” the new series will “take an unbiased look inside a criminal defense firm,” according to NBC. “The series will put the lawyers under the microscope, along with the criminal justice system with every week delivering the promise of a contemporary morality tale.”
Carol Mendelsohn (“CSI”) will serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside franchise boss Dick Wolf.
“For the Defense” joins “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” which has been renewed through Season 24, and the most recent addition to the franchise, “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” which marked longtime “SVU” star Christopher Meloni’s return after 10 years away from the show.
