The latest Law & Order spinoff will be set in the City of Angels.
During the Winter Television Critics Association Tour on Sunday, NBC programming chief Angela Bromstad announced that the network are having “very fluid” conversations with L&O creator Dick Wolf about introducing Law & Order: Los Angeles to the airwaves. NBC producers are currently working on hiring writers for a pilot.
Bromstad emphasized Law & Order: Los Angeles is still in very early stages. “We’re talking about writers,” she said about the franchise.
“Even if, for instance, ‘Law & Order’ the mothership, didn’t go beyond another couple of years, that way of telling stories is so unique that I actually think it could work in Los Angeles with a new look and a new cast,” she said.
Law & Order: LA would be the first series in the L&O franchise set outside New York.
“We officially call that LOLA,” Jeff Gaspin, NBC Television Entertainment Chairman added.
