  • 6 years ago
NBC is expanding the Law & Order universe again.
The network has given a series commitment to Law & Order: Hate Crimes, a new series from L&O creator Dick Wolf and former Law & Order: SVU showrunner Warren Leight. The initial order is for 13 episodes.
The show is based on the real-life Hate Crimes Task Force within the New York Police Department. The unit works under the Special Victims Unit (the basis for SVU) within the department and often borrows SVU detectives for help with investigations.
