Law & Order launches dedicated FAST channel

NBCUniversal and Wolf Entertainment roll out a dedicated FAST channel for Law & Order across major platforms, making Seasons 5–10 available now with more to come.

Law & Order Launches Dedicated FAST Channel

NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution and Wolf Entertainment have launched a dedicated FAST channel for Law & Order in the United States. At launch, Seasons 5 through 10 will stream on LG Channels, Pluto TV, Prime Video, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, and Xumo Play, with additional seasons to be added later this year as the show heads into its 25th season on NBC. This marks the first time Law & Order has its own FAST channel and the first time NBCUniversal’s FAST channels premiere day and date on multiple platforms.

The move follows the show’s streaming evolution since 2020, when episodes joined Peacock as part of NBCUniversal's library. Dick Wolf, the creator and executive producer, says the goal is to meet fans wherever they watch and attract a new generation of viewers as the franchise grows toward its 25th season. Law & Order has built a long history in television, from its original NBC run to spin offs and multiple actors who later gained fame.

Strategically, the FAST channel push signals a broader push to monetize legacy content through ad-supported streaming rather than relying solely on subscriptions. By releasing Seasons 5–10 now and planning day-and-date premieres across several platforms, NBCUniversal tests reach and discovery with minimal friction for viewers. The move also signals confidence that evergreen titles can sustain momentum outside traditional cable or subscription bundles.

But the shift raises questions about audience fragmentation and the value of platform bundling. For fans, it lowers barriers to find the show; for advertisers, it increases impressions but adds pricing complexity. If successful, this strategy could harden a model where timeless titles stay visible on multiple screens, not just on a single cable dial, reshaping how legacy libraries are monetized.

The industry will watch whether this approach convinces viewers to stick with a legacy series across new screens.
