Deadline
ConvictionThe Law & Order franchise is a number of related American television series created by Dick Wolf and originally broadcast on NBC, all of which deal with some aspect of the criminal justice system. Together, the original series, its various spin-offs, the TV film, and crossover episodes from other shows constitute over 900 hours of programming.
Shared people and resources in a common fictional setting are the connecting links between the shows, e.g., Hudson University and the New York Ledger tabloid newspaper. Many supporting characters, such as district attorneys, psychologists and medical examiners are also shared among the shows. Occasionally, crossovers of main characters or shared storylines between two of the shows will occur. A few major characters have also left the cast of one show within the franchise only to eventually join another.
The music, style and credits of the shows tend to be similar, with the voiceover in the opening of every series performed by Steven Zirnkilton.[1] Past episodes of the American series are in syndication with TNT, USA Network, WGN America, and Bravo showing episodes sometimes up to six times a day.

- On May 14, 2010, NBC announced that it was canceling the original series, although various spin-offs will continue. The series finale aired on May 24, 2010.[2] Wolf briefly attempted to continue the series on cable,[3][4] but the series "moved into the history books".[5]

TV film
The Law & Order franchise has one TV film, Exiled: A Law & Order Movie (1998). Chris Noth reprises his role as Mike Logan, as the film explores what happened to the character following his departure from the original series.
Video games
The franchise has also spawned a series of video games for the PC, which feature appearances by then-current cast members of the TV series.
The typical course of most of the games follows the original series' format with the player investigating a crime with interviews of witnesses and examination of evidence. After the arrest is made, the player then prosecutes the case with challenges such as selecting appropriate questions for witnesses on the stand, recognizing improper questions to raise objections and selecting the most persuasive arguments for the judge to allow certain evidence in court.

Location
Setting
Most of the American series have been filmed almost entirely in the New York City area. The original Law & Order series has filmed a few episodes in the Los Angeles area and Baltimore; these episodes or portions of episodes were set in the cities in which they were filmed and concerned multi-jurisdictional investigations or extradition.
Law & Order: Los Angeles expanded the franchise to a new main city, the new series' namesake. L&O:LA was cancelled after one season.
Effects on casting
With some frequency, actors have appeared on the various series that make up the franchise, usually as different (sometimes very different) characters. This is because filming occurs in the New York City area and thus draws from the same pool of actors. Some prominent examples of the same actor playing different roles in different episodes are Diane Neal playing a female rapist in an earlier season of Special Victims Unit before becoming the Assistant District Attorney for that series, Annabella Sciorra playing a criminal defense attorney in Trial by Jury and later Det. Mike Logan's (Chris Noth) partner in Criminal Intent, as well as Jerry Orbach playing a defense attorney on the original series before joining it as Det. Lennie Briscoe, Ice-T playing a pimp known as Seymour Stockton in the franchise's only film, Exiled: A Law & Order Movie, before taking on the role of Tutuola on SVU, and Anthony Anderson playing Detective Lucius Blaine in a seventh season episode of SVU before playing Bernard on the original Law & Order. Also, due to the New York filming, a number of actors appearing in Law & Order shows have had regular or recurring roles on soaps, most notably Tamara Tunie, who simultaneously played both medical examiner Melinda Warner on SVU, and, until 2007, D.A. Jessica Griffin on As the World Turns.
Also as the result of sharing the same pool of New York-based television actors, the series' casts have had significant overlap with that of the former HBO series, Oz. This is perhaps most pronounced in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, whose cast has included three regularly credited actors (Christopher Meloni, B. D. Wong and Dean Winters) and two recurring actors (J. K. Simmons and Mike Doyle) who were also regularly credited actors on Oz.
Related series
U.S. series
In addition to the five Law & Order-titled series that comprise the franchise proper, other American TV series have been established as taking place in the same fictional universe as the franchise.
- Homicide: Life on the Street (1993–1999), created by Paul Attanasio, was definitely set in the same universe.
- Homicide and L&O occasionally crossed over. Various characters from L&O and Homicide appeared on the other series, as two-part stories were periodically begun on an episode of one series and concluded on the other, the same criminal having committed crimes in both Baltimore and New York City, or a crime in one city having a connection in the other.
- Richard Belzer's Det. John Munch transferred from the Baltimore PD to the NYPD on SVU; one of Lennie's former lovers had been previously married to Det. Munch; although Munch was initially resentful of Briscoe, the two quickly bonded over their mutual resentment of the woman.
- New York Undercover (1994–1998), co-created by Kevin Arkadie and Dick Wolf, was implicitly a part of the same universe as the franchise, as psychologist and psychiatrist characters from L&O appeared in the series.
- Deadline (2000–2001), also created by Dick Wolf, featured reporters based at the franchise's fictitious newspaper, the New York Ledger.
- Conviction (2006)
- Starred Stephanie March as Alexandra Cabot, Anson Mount as Jim Steele, Eric Balfour as Brian Peluso, J. August Richards as Billy Desmond, Milena Govich as Jessica Rossi, Julianne Nicholson as Christina Finn, and Jordan Bridges as Nick Potter.
- March reprises her role of Cabot originally from SVU and is now a Bureau Chief Executive ADA. Cabot would return to SVU after this show's end.
- The series features a larger ensemble cast of young ADAs, with no police, therapists or medical examiners in lead roles.
- The show reuses Trial by Jury's sets.
- After its cancellation, two of the show's actresses, Milena Govich and Julianne Nicholson, went on to star in Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent respectively as Detectives Nina Cassidy and Megan Wheeler.
- In Plain Sight (2008–present) has also crossed over with the franchise.
- Deputy Marshall Mary Shannon guest stars on the L&O: CI episode Contract to provide additional back-story for the suspect Frank Chess, whom she placed into Witness Protection prior to the events of this episode.
Adaptations outside the U.S.
