As a long-time fan of Law & Order and a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours in the world of crime dramas, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Season 24. The departure of Camryn Manheim as Lieutenant Kate Dixon was a bit of a shock, but the arrival of Maura Tierney as Lt. Jessica Brady seems like a promising change.
The long-awaited days are ticking away until Law & Order’s Season 24 airs in 2024, but fans might notice a change in the cast from previous seasons, especially with Camryn Manheim not returning as Lieutenant Kate Dixon. To take on this role, the show has recruited a veteran from NBC: Maura Tierney, best known for her work on ER. As we approach the Season 24 premiere on October 3, here’s a look at how Tierney’s arrival affected the cast dynamics behind the scenes.
Since Camryn Manheim was leaving before the Season 23 finale of Law & Order, it was expected that there would be a new lieutenant. Although Dixon’s departure wasn’t explicitly set up in the spring, this change was inevitable. Maura Tierney was later announced as the new cast member and will debut as Lieutenant Jessica Brady in the Season 24 premiere. According to Showrunner Rick Eid, Brady is described as being more involved in daily operations than most lieutenants and actively participates in interrogations, often behaving like another detective rather than a supervisor.
The arrival of Brady is undoubtedly going to bring change for Detectives Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and Vincent Riley (Reid Scott), whether it turns out to be good or bad. As per Mehcad Brooks, the addition of Maura Tierney to the cast has introduced some enjoyable alterations backstage. When I chatted with him about how Law & Order is set to feel “refreshed” in Season 24, he also gave me a glimpse into what filming has been like since she joined the team on set.
Maura is remarkably fitting and seems as if she’s been part of our group since the beginning. Her humor, much like Reid and mine, is quirky in a way that makes her feel like the third member of the classic comedy trio, The Three Stooges. Just as it’s unclear who plays Larry, Moe, or Curly, it’s difficult to determine which role Maura, Reid, and I each embody within our group dynamic.
On prime-time television, Law & Order might not be the most comedic show, but off-camera during Season 24, it seems that Tierney manages to generate laughter. However, this doesn’t mean she’s lax about her work; instead, Mehcad Brooks emphasized that she is indeed committed to her role.
Apart from being a fantastic actor, she consistently brings unique insights and innovative ideas to every scene. Her contributions enhance the project immensely, making it a joy to watch. I’ve admired her talents since Liar, Liar, and have followed her work for decades. Working alongside her is truly one of the highlights of my career.
Maura Tierney has a long list of acting credits, with “Liar, Liar” being one of them. This film stands out as one of Jim Carrey’s best performances. Moreover, she added another accolade to her resume by appearing in the “Law & Order” series under different characters, having portrayed Patti Blaine in a Season 2 episode back in 1991. On television, Tierney is particularly recognized for her role as Abby Lockhart in nearly 200 episodes of “ER,” although she has also made significant appearances in more recent shows like “The Affair” and “American Rust.
Even though “Law & Order” might seem like just her comeback to NBC post “ER”, it’s also her re-entry into network television as a main character. Here’s a sneak peek of her in action:
Luckily, the long wait to witness her as Lt. Brady and observe her dynamics with the detectives, particularly compared to Dixon, is about to end. The 24th season of Law & Order, which you can stream with a Peacock subscription, starts on Thursday, October 3 at 8 p.m. ET, preceding the Season 26 premiere of Law & Order: SVU.
