Don’t worry: We know you’re going to have strong opinions about this one.
When you think procedurals, chances are you think of one of Dick Wolf’s very successful franchises, each consisting of three shows airing back-to-back-to-back and taking up primetime television one night a week. CBS has the FBIs, with Most Wanted and International joining the original. NBC has One Chicago, consisting of Fire, P.D., and Med, as well as Law & Order, with the original and SVU both in 20+ seasons and Organized Crime just a few years old.
And, thanks to crossovers, all of these shows are connected: The individual franchises have each had three-show events. SVU has worked with One Chicago. Thanks to a one-episode appearance from a P.D. star, FBI has been brought into the fold.
Below, we’ve taken on the challenge of ranking those nine shows, all of which are returning for the 2023-2024 season.
