Seasons 5-10 of Law & Order are currently available on LG Channels, Pluto TV, Prime Video, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, and Xumo Play. Additional seasons will be added to the FAST channel later this year, but as of now, itโ€™s unknown what seasons and when. This is the first time the Emmy-winning series will be available on its own dedicated FAST channel. Itโ€™s also the first time that an NBCUniversal FAST channel will premiere day-and-date on multiple platforms.

โ€œLaw & 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,โ€ said creator and executive producer Dick Wolf. โ€œOur 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.โ€

News of the FAST channel not only comes ahead of Law & Orderโ€™s 25th season, premiering on Thursday, Sept. 25 on NBC, but also the 35th anniversary of the series. Law & Order premiered on Sept. 13, 1990. The show has won six Emmys and hundreds of other awards, spawning a whole franchise. Since its inception, six spinoffs in the franchise have premiered, with Law & Order: SVU reigning as the longest-running primetime live-action series on American television for six years now. The Mariska Hargitay-led series is entering its 27th season, also on Sept. 25.
