Even though season 23 was expected to release around September just like the last season, the writer's strike may have changed those plans and led to a postponement in the premiere of the season. Law & Order was first aired on September 13, 1990, and has episodes of around 40 to 48 minutes. While Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is the longest-running live-action scripted American primetime series, Law & Order is second on the list.
