Dick Wolf hasn't given up hope on 'Law & Order'

NBC may be done with “Law & Order,” but that doesn’t mean Dick Wolf is.

After NBC’s upfront presentations Monday, the show’s producer said that he’s seeking out “other offers” for his 20-year-old series, according to The New York Times. There may be a chance that Wolf will take his weekly series to TNT, much like what the producers of “Southland” did when that show was canned by NBC, according to Deadline.com.

But it seems that Wolf – who, the NYT notes, wanted to see his show outlast “Gunsmoke” as the longest-running prime time drama – wants to exhaust all his options before turning to plan B: a two-hour TV movie that would wrap the series.

“The patient is not dead,” Wolf said Monday. “It is in a medically induced coma, and we are hoping for a cure.”
