Law & Order creator Dick Wolf and executives at NBC have hit the green light on another Law & Order spinoff, this one based on a crime unit in the Los Angeles, California area, TV tipsters say.
According to a scoop from Deadline Hollywood, the network has picked up Law & Order: Los Angeles (LOLA) for 13-episodes that will premiere next fall.
I’m not sure about this move. For me, the on-location setting in the Big Apple is a huge part of Law & Order’s lasting charm. The city is like another character in itself. Hmm — we’ll see what transpires…..
The original Law & Order, which spawned 3 spinoffs (albeit the ill-fated Trial By Jury), has been on the air since 1990 and will likely be renewed for a historic 21st season.
