Dylan McDermott, who was recently nominated for an Emmy for his role on Netflix’s Hollywood, is going to New York to star Law and Order: Organized Crime.
McDermott, best known for his role in ABC’s long-running drama The practice, will star alongside Christopher Meloni in the NBC drama.
The network did not say who McDermott would play in the SVU spin-off, which is set to debut later this year.
It comes after production started earlier this week with Meloni and Mariska Hargitay shared a photo on the set.
Meloni is reprising his role as Elliot Stabler, who returns to the NYPD to fight organized crime after a devastating personal loss. Stabler will aim to rebuild his life as part of a new elite task force that is dismantling the city’s most powerful criminal unions, one by one.
Law and Order: Organized Crime was created by Dick Wolf, who will be the executive producer along with Ilene Chaiken, Terry Miller, Fred Berner, Arthur W. Forney and Peter Jankowski.
The series is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
McDermott is represented by Industry Entertainment and CAA.
