'Law & Order' set in Los Angeles may hit NBC soon

So who is going to star in this one? Kristin Chenoweth? And maybe we can revive Lindsay Lohan's career... (Sidenote: I would secretly love it if Kristin Chenoweth was cast...)

A Los Angeles-based version of “Law & Order” could air on NBC next season, network officials said Sunday.

NBC and Universal Media Studios Primetime Entertainment President Angela Bromstad said she asked “Law & Order” creator and executive producer Dick Wolf if he would consider producing a Los Angeles version of the series that mixes the investigation of a crime and its prosecution.

“We’re talking about developing that,” Bromstad said during NBC’s portion of the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena.

Wolf “affectionately” calls the project “NOLA,” said Jeff Gaspin, NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman.

Bromstad said it was “highly possible” that “Law & Order” would be renewed for a record 21st season. “Law & Order” and the 1955-75 CBS Western “Gunsmoke” share the record as prime-time television’s longest-running drama at 20 seasons.

NBC also announced some of its pilot plans for the 2010-11 season, including a remake of the 1974-80 detective drama “The Rockford Files” and an adaptation of the BBC series “Prime Suspect.”

NBC’s other pilots include “Undercovers,” about husband-and-wife spies co-written by “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams; “Chase,” an action-procedural drama produced by “CSI” producer Jerry Bruckheimer; “Kindreds,” about an unconventional law practice, written by David E. Kelley, whose credits include “Boston Legal,” “The Practice” and “L.A. Law”; the romantic comedy “Love Bites” and a comedy featuring radio personality Adam Carolla.

NBC is scheduled to announce its 2010-11 programming plans May 17.
