NBC has renewed five series for the upcoming 2024-2025 season. Returning are Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU. The status of Law & Order: Organized Crime is still in discussion

House of the Dragon returns for season two June 16 on HBO. Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively. As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story.
