Is Law & Order New Tonight? (January 9, 2025)

Find out when the courtroom chaos continues with Law & Order Season 24. 

By Jessica White

While Season 24 of Law & Order has been an action-packed watch, the procedural thrills and chills have been paused due to the show's midseason hiatus.

How to Watch

Watch Law & Order Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock.

Fans never know what high-stakes case the squad will tackle next as Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) continue to kick criminal butt with the help of their fearless new commander, Lt. Jessica Brady (Maura Tierney). Amid the squad room shake-ups, D.A. Nicholas Baxter (Tony Goldwyn), with the help of A.D.A.s Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi) and Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy), has been doing everything in his power to deliver justice during unprecedented times in the big city. Along the way, we've learned more and more about what makes these detectives tick, the makings of an addictive watch.

"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."
