The fall premieres of the 2024 TV schedule are coming up in the 2024 TV schedule , and that includes the return of NBC's Law & Order Thursdays. That lineup will be different starting this fall, though, with Organized Crime no longer airing after SVU and Law & Order . Fortunately, some exciting casting news feels like a step in the right direction for NBC's new lineup on Thursdays, and not just because it's bringing back an alum of not one but two of the network's hit shows.

Fans, prepare to welcome The Blacklist and New Amsterdam alum Ryan Eggold to Law & Order ! Ryan Eggold is slated to appear in a Season 24 episode as a guest star with a personal connection to Detective Vince Riley, according to TVLine . Named Matt Riley, the character is the detective's brother. No further details are available about what the brothers' dynamic will be like at the time of writing, but after Riley's personal life didn't get a ton of attention when Reid Scott joined the cast for Season 23, I'm looking forward to getting to see his interactions with his brother.

Plus, Eggold had a long tenure on NBC after his role on The Blacklist , the short-lived Blacklist spinoff, and then five seasons of New Amsterdam . It could be fun to see him back! That's also not the only casting news for the upcoming season of Law & Order , and all three are what make me optimistic about Law & Order Thursdays continuing with just two L&O shows.
