After 24 seasons, Dick Wolf’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit still brings in eyeballs.
The procedural crime drama, which premiered in 1999, came in No. 3 for live, linear watch-time with a 1.06% viewership share across all dayparts from Jan. 1 through June 30, 2023, according to data from Inscape, the currency-grade smart TV ACR data provider and data technology division of Vizio. SVU was behind only the NBA (1.83%) and NFL (1.72%), making the Mariska Hargitay- and Ice-T-starring series the top scripted program in the first half of the year. The series also nabbed the No. 3 spot when looking at weekends only with 1.59% viewership share, again behind the NFL and NBA.
