I’ll miss the show but it’s had a good run and it’s getting a bit ridiculous keeping Joel Kinneman’s character alive.

The first couple of series are excellent, it drops off a bit after that but it’s still really good

Hey, is Daneel in this?
Not that I can remember. Hari is an ongoing main character and it has time jumps. It’s very different.

‘Brilliant Minds’ & ‘Stumble’ Canceled By NBC, ‘Law & Order’ & ‘Hunting Party’ Remain On The Bubble – Deadline
Boo! I loved Brilliant Minds.
And I’m a L&O junkie. Hope it survives.
But yeah, TV is getting cutthroat now.
Even thing that survive are cutting back to 20 episodes, and ensemble casts (Chicago’s) won’t have full casts all season.1 user thanked author for this post.

I’d be disappointed if L&O is cancelled, but it’s really not as good as the original run. I watched a random episode of that recently (Everybody Loves Raymondo’s, I think it’s called) and every scene was dripping with wit and charm. The new one… not so much. And as much as I like Maura Tierney, I don’t think her lieutenant character works that well. They’re trying too hard to give her more to do than the squad commander usually gets and it just feels try hard. They should have just hired her as lead detective.

Behind the 11th Hour Renewal for ‘Law & Order’ Season 26 – Hollywood Reporter
NBC executives say the late decision came down mostly to scheduling and budget concerns.
The detectives and prosecutors of Law & Order will remain on the job for another season.
NBC has renewed the long-running drama for a 26th installment in 2026-27, and the sixth season since L&O was revived in 2022. The pickup comes later than usual for Law & Order — the official word comes just before the start of NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation Monday. Its spinoff Law & Order: SVU was renewed in mid-April, and NBC’s three Chicago dramas — which, like the L&O franchise, come from Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment — earned pickups near the end of March.
Law & Order will remain on Thursdays in NBC’s schedule for next season, but it’s moving from 8 to 10 p.m. — following rather than preceding SVU. A civilian version of The Traitors will lead off Thursdays in the fall.
The delay in renewing Law & Order came down to budget discussions and finding a place on the schedule, said Lisa Katz, president scripted content for NBC and Peacock.
“It’s funny that people were saying it was a bubble show,” Katz told reporters on a call about the 2026-27 schedule. “We love the show. We love the [Law & Order] block. It was very much a puzzle of figuring out what went where, and we have civilian Traitors coming in the fall. So it was just trying to put all the pieces [together] and figure out how many episodes and when they would come. But we’re very excited to have it back.”
The Surprising A-Listers Who Got Their Break on ‘Law & Order’: “A Rite of Passage” – Hollywood Reporter
How the franchise has been turning nobodies — like Samuel L. Jackson, Clare Danes, Adam Driver and Timothée Chalamet — into A-list actors for 35 years.
Before Timothée Chalamet set foot on Arrakis, before Pedro Pascal started battling post-apocalyptic fungi, before Bradley Cooper, Viola Davis and Samuel L. Jackson became Bradley Cooper, Viola Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, they all underwent the same New York actor initiation: showing up on Law & Order to get murdered, accused of murder, arrested, raped, stabbed, stalked, strangled or — in John Stamos’ case — commit condom-related crimes too weird to get into here.
Since the franchise began shooting on the streets of New York in 1990, it has become more than a rite of passage for hungry young actors — it’s become the East Coast’s most reliable incubator of future stars. Michael B. Jordan, Kerry Washington, Claire Danes, Idris Elba, J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney, among scads of others, all got their start by getting interrogated by Jerry Orbach or Mariska Hargitay.
Of course, it wasn’t only unknowns who landed on the procedural as perps, victims and corpses. Established names wandered through, too: former child actors eager to prove they had a darker gear, comedians stretching dramatic muscles, even giant movie stars doing favors for their boyfriends. Julia Roberts, who was dating Benjamin Bratt at the time, dropped by the set in 1999 to play a glamorous party planner caught up in the murder of a powerful real estate mogul.
Still, it’s the bit players who later became big deals that make reruns extra eye-popping. So, what follows here is a who’s who of Law & Order guest stars, back when many of them were still nobodies.

The New Cape Fear TV Series Will Mess With Your Sanity – Esquire“Part of what’s so scary is getting people to turn on each other,” says Amy Adams about the upcoming Apple TV thriller. Plus—what Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg added to the madness.
Am I crazy, or has the rest of the world lost it? This is one of those innate terrors, the sinking self-doubt that consumes everything you know to be true, moral and obvious. We are bewildered when others don’t see what we perceive, frustrated when we are misunderstood, and terrified when no one listens as the undeniable danger closes in. Brace yourself—the new Cape Fear series from Apple TV takes this reality distortion to a nightmarish new level.
In a new ten-episode take on the classic stalker thriller, debuting June 5, gaslighting becomes a scorched-Earth tale of revenge that consumes a seemingly ordinary family, led by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. The Cape Fear series may take its inspiration from a nearly 70-year-old novel, but all the modern-day sources of anxiety are present in this update: AI fakes, social media catfishing, false accusation, public shaming, and all-around psychological overload are just the start of the trouble. The real trauma is the never-ending uncertainty about what outrage is coming next.
Showrunner and executive producer Nick Antosca, a novelist and screenwriter who specializes in mind-warping tales of dread, says that’s the whole reason to remake Cape Fear, which has stood for decades as an example of bad things happening to good (or seemingly good) people.
“For a while in this story, there is uncertainty about the nature of the threat, and we kind of go back and forth. That reflects the atmosphere in which we live,” Antosca tells Esquire for this exclusive look behind the scenes. “It’s sort of like, what is true? What can I believe? I may feel threatened, but am I justified in feeling that way? In various forms, we find ourselves asking questions like that a lot now.”

‘Stargate’ TV Series From Martin Gero Not Moving Forward at Amazon (EXCLUSIVE) – Variety
The new “Stargate” TV series has been axed at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.
The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025. It hailed from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on “Stargate SG-1” and “Stargate: Atlantis” early in his career.
According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.

Infuriating. If it’s far enough along to have announced it, it should be far enough along that it gets to at least make a pilot.

It’s a stupid take, but its Amazon, so it’s bound to be stupid.

I was never into Stargate back then, but it’s still a great basic concept for a sci-fi series. Hard to mess up, you would think.

The later episodes of Atlantis say otherwise. :D

Heh. Yeah well, like I said, I never got into it.
But restarting that franchise – there’s a million exciting ways to go about it. But honestly if the assessment of the execs here is correct, I kinda get it. If Gero was going to much for nostalgia instead of doing something new and exciting for a younger audience, it was on the wrong path.2 users thanked author for this post.

Yeah, and everything Gero had said was stressing that it was going to be accessible to new viewers, wasn’t going to just be a nostalgia revival for SG-1.

Plus the Goa’uld got done in series 8. They brought in the Ori for s9-10. Atlantis wrapped up the Wraith and Replicators. It was all very tidy.
Yeah. The only real sticking points of accessibility if you continue on from the original series are a) that humanity has spaceships now and b) a Lucian Alliance Goa’uld transport ship blew up on Earth in an episode of Universe (which I took to be a watershed moment of them having to reveal the existence of aliens to the general populace, but I might be misremembering that and I guess it’s easy enough to lie about). Everything else is prime to just set aside or drip feed back into the series from a fresh start, ala 2005 Doctor Who.
