The countdown to new episodes of Season 24 of Law & Order continues, and weekly watchers are eager to see what happens next.

How to Watch

Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) have had their work cut out for them, with Maura Tierney's Lt. Jessica Brady now at the helm of the squad room. The team has been kicking criminal butt this season, with Brady emerging as the squad's new ace-in-the-hole with her no-nonsense diligence. D.A. Nicholas Baxter (Tony Goldwyn) continues to steal hearts as the new Manhattan D.A., guiding A.D.A.s Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi) and Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) in some high-stakes cases. Whether it's a dastardly murder scene or a government scandal, the Law & Order squad never backs down from a fight.

"Something we're sort of emphasizing this year is trying to learn more about some of our characters," Law & Order showrunner Rick Eid told NBC Insider. "It's still Dick Wolf's Law & Order, and there's still compelling, topical cases every week and ethical and moral dilemmas every week, but I think that we're trying, on certain episodes, to dig just a little bit deeper into who our people are and see how their personal lives intersect with their professional lives."
