Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will continue its reign as the longest-running live-action prime-time television series for at least three more years.
NBC announced on Thursday it is giving three-year renewals to all of producer Dick Wolf's shows that air on the network: Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med. "Dick Wolf has proven time and time again that he makes shows audiences love," NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdy said in a statement, adding that the network is "delighted, excited, and proud" that the series will continue.
Starring Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU is now in its 21st season; it is the second-longest-running TV series of any kind, behind The Simpsons.
