“Ripped from the headlines," Dick Wolf’s procedural drama Law & Order has kept fans hooked for over two decades. Fans of the NYPD’s 27th precinct are rejoicing as the series enters its 23rd season on air, picking up more investigations and court battles. With familiar faces and new court cases on the horizon, fans can catch up on some of the prosecutors’ best cases right here on Peacock, with seasons 13-20 available to stream right now!
Recap of Law &and Order Season 22
Last season saw new Jr. Detective Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) join the fray, teaming up with senior Detective Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) to tackle crime in the city. A deadly mix of politics, blackmail, and personal grudges kept the infamous 27th precinct busy. The drama in the precinct was just as potent as it was outside, as some battles moved out of the courtroom and into the personal lives of our favorite prosecutors. District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) faced off against his own daughter Rebecca (played by his real-life daughter Elisabeth Waterston) in the courtroom, while ADA Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) was thrown into turmoil as he took the stand to seek justice for his murdered friend Rachel.
