There are plans to bring the acclaimed US police series 'Law & Order' to London.
Variety reports that the makers of 'Law & Order', Wolf Films and NBC Universal, are in talks with ITV and UK production company Kudos Film about an English version of the series, which has the working title 'Law & Order: London'.
If a deal is agreed the first series would consist of 13 episodes; most first series in the UK are greenlighted for six episodes.
The 18th series of 'Law & Order' began on US TV last night.
There are local versions of 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' produced in France and Russia, with the latter also producing a version of 'Law & Order: SVU'.
If a UK deal is reached it would be the first agreement for a foreign version of the original 'Law & Order' format.
Like the French and Russian editions of '...Criminal Intent', 'Law & Order: London' would use scripts originally written for the US version but reworked to the new location.
