Fans of the famed NBC show Law & Order have been asking for some time when the revival will hit the air? We have an answer for you.

Before you ask, yes, Sam Waterston will be returning as District Attorney Jack McCoy on the show. But we get more details thanks to an assist from TV Line.

Make sure your TV sets are tuned in to NBC on Thursday night at 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Central. Season 21 will make its arrival of Law & Order. The OG show actually will be the lead one for a full night of this franchise. Also on Thursday, SVU and Organized Crime will return to the lineup after being away for the Winter Olympics.

Once these shows get going again, could there be some crossovers happening? Hey, this is Dick Wolf territory so you bet that is a possibility. Remember: Wolf is the creator and executive producer of these shows.

Besides Waterston, others in the cast for Law & Order include Anthony Anderson, Jeffrey Donovan, Camryn Manheim, and Hugh Dancy. This show has a deep history in the world of TV. Just tune into some cable networks and feast your eyes on a lot of reruns. Fans also will probably be busy over on Reddit with comments and thoughts, too.
