This marks the first time the genre-defining series will be available as its own dedicated FAST channel, as well as the first time that one of NBCUniversal’s Studio FAST channels will premiere day-and-date on multiple platforms.

NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution and Wolf Entertainment today announced the launch of the Law & Order FAST channel in the U.S.  

Starting today, Seasons 5-10 of the iconic Emmy®-winning series will be available on LG Channels, Pluto TV, Prime Video, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, and Xumo Play. Additional seasons of Law & Order will be added to the FAST channel later this year.

This marks the first time the genre-defining series will be available as its own dedicated FAST channel, as well as the first time that one of NBCUniversal’s Studio FAST channels will premiere day-and-date on multiple platforms.  The Law & Order FAST channel will also debut as the venerated series enters its milestone 25th season on NBC. 

“Law & Order fans are using every type of media today and it makes sense for the series to be available wherever they want to watch it. Our hope is that a new generation of viewers will discover Law & Order, and the fan base will continue to grow as we enter our 25th season.”

— Dick Wolf, Law & Order Creator and Executive Producer

Produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment, Law & Order is a gripping drama series that examines the criminal justice system and tells the stories of the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. 

 “We are thrilled that the legendary Law & Order will be joining our powerhouse lineup of FAST channels from the NBCUniversal content portfolio and are excited to bring this series to new and existing fans alike. This further strengthens our longstanding partnership with Dick Wolf and Wolf Entertainment, whose storytelling continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.  And our collaboration with our valued platform partners highlights our shared commitment to finding innovative ways to deliver compelling content to viewers.”
