Dick Wolf News

USA Network, the #1 network in 2010 for an unprecedented five consecutive years running, is kicking off its spring lineup with two of its popular original series, LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT and IN PLAIN SIGHT

Should Dick Wolf need any new fresh ideas for his aging Law and Order TV franchise (and recent events would indicate that he might), we would suggest he ring up Nan Gurley, Denice Hicks and Claire Syler - the scribes of Nashville Shakespeare Festival's current hit Shakespeare's Case - for an infusion of new blood and an influx of new plotlines. Of course, those plotlines might not be new, since they'd probably hew pretty closely to the Bard's classics for which the estimable Nashville troupe is best known, but you can rest assured the trio would have a novel take on stories that audiences would enthusiastically embrace.

NBC has announced that Skeet Ulrich will no longer be a member of the cast of 'Law and Order, Los Angeles,' The New York Times reports today. This was done in an effort to give more screen time to Terrance Howard and Alfred Molina.

Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe, SAG and Tony-winning actor Jeremy Irons makes his first appearance on episodic network television, in a special guest-starring role on 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.' Irons, who won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for 'Reversal of Fortune,' also won an Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in the HBO mini-series 'Elizabeth I,' and has a multitude of honors to his credit. He will play Dr. Cap Jackson, a sex therapist who runs a sex addition rehab clinic in the upcoming 'SVU' episode titled 'Mask.' The episode will be filmed later this month and will air in early 2011.

NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution has sold 'Law & Order' to local broadcast stations for weekend syndication beginning Fall 2011, marking the very first time the iconic, Emmy-award winning drama will be available in broadcast syndication, it was announced today by Sean O'Boyle, Executive Vice President, Syndication Sales, NBC Universal Domestic TV Distribution.
