NBC Renews Nearly All Chicago and Law & Order Series; Goosebumps Season 2 Cast Update
NBC has renewed nearly all of its Dick Wolf franchises: Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU for the 2024-25 season. The status of Law & Order: Organized Crime is still in discussion. All five shows are produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment. All shows stream next day on Peacock.
Ana Ortiz (Love, Victor; Ugly Betty) joins the brand-new cast of the Disney+ anthology series Goosebumps for season two. She portrays Jen, a dedicated police detective who remains rooted in her Brooklyn neighborhood after experiencing a tragic event that involved her friends in adolescence. Previously announced Emmy® Award-nominated actor and director David Schwimmer (American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson) leads the cast, alongside new season two regulars Sam McCarthy (Dead to Me) and Jayden Bartels (Side Hustle) as fraternal twins Devin and Cece, respectively; Elijah Cooper (That Girl Lay Lay) as CJ; Galilea La Salvia (Party Down) as Frankie; and Francesca Noel (R#J) as Alex.
From Disney Branded Television and produced by Sony Pictures Television, the new season features a brand-new story, setting and cast based upon R.L Stine's worldwide bestselling Scholastic series, which has over 400 million books in print across 32 languages. The new story begins with Devin and Cece, fraternal twins adjusting to life with their recently divorced dad, Anthony. When the duo discovers a threat stirring, they quickly realize that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, Devin, Cece and their friends — Alex, CJ and Frankie — find themselves entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.
