NBC has stated it will "relaunch Law & Order: LA" on a new night, Monday, starting April 11, 2011 at 10:00PM. It goes to say the new cast will feature Al Molina and Terrence Howard as "full-time" detective and DA. As we know, Alana De La Garza will be on as ADA.

'Law & Order: Los Angeles' Does Ronni Chasen-Inspired Episode & Shortens NameDick Wolf has said that, after the creative revamp of Law & Order: Los Angeles, it will more closely resemble the mothership Law & Order series. And now LOLA is doing exactly what L&O famously did - take a big local crime story and do a fictional version of it. An upcoming episode of the spinoff, which is now filming, features a storyline clearly inspired by the recent murder of top Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen. In the episode, entitled Benedict Canyon, a famous Hollywood stylist is murdered in what initially appears a random robbery gone bad. But, while in the case of Chasen the investigation ruled the murder just that - the result of a random robbery - the case on LOLA takes multiple turns and gets more sinister as dark family secrets are revealed. Meanwhile, eagle-eyed viewers probably noticed that in the new NBC promos for the April 11 return of LOLA, the title of the show is listed as Law & Order: LA. Along with the show, its title is getting a makeover too - it is being shortened from the original Law & Order: Los Angeles. www.deadline.com/2011/03/law-order-los-angeles-does-ronni-chasen-inspired-episode-shortens-name/

I have seen several TV spots for this show on NBC. They all emphasize the plot point--I'm paraphrasing--that after 20 years, Law & Order will lose one of its own. Anyone have any idea what this is about, what detecitve could end up dead?

Techguy I don't believe it's a big secret that the Skeet Ulrich character is getting killed off. The Al Molina character is apparently so disgusted about what happens that he goes back to being a detective and is partnered with pornstache. I watched most episodes and none of the characters impressed me so much that I remember their names. I suppose I will watch the 2 hr reboot but when compared with Law and Order UK which I started watching at the same time Lola is just not must see TV.

Thanks Idget. I hadn't been following the show closely enough to be in on the secret. Maybe I'll watch the 2hr reboot too to get a better feel of the show. If I like what I see I'll make an effort to revisit past episodes to catch up. If not...well, there are worse things in life than not watching a TV show. ;D
