Law & Order is gearing up for its 24th season with the addition of two-time Emmy nominee Maura Tierney to its ensemble cast. Tierney will be taking on the role of an NYPD lieutenant in the long-running NBC drama, following the departure of Camryn Manheim who played Lt. Kate Dixon for three seasons.
Tierney's casting marks the second recent addition to the show's cast, with Tony Goldwyn joining midway through the previous season after the exit of Sam Waterston, the show's longest-serving cast member.
