NEW YORK, Sept. 17 (UPI) — NBC’s long-running drama Law & Order is about to be placed in the hands of the public with a new, live spinoff, where real-life verdicts are determined by its viewers.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC is working to produce an unscripted docuseries with producer Dick Wolf and production company Magical Elves. The current reported working title of the series is Law & Order: You The Jury.
The reality show will follow true civil cases — no murder trials — as they unfold in a TV courtroom; the audience will reportedly be asked to take part in the proceedings during the hourlong show most likely via social media.
During this upcoming season, Wolf will already be producing four NBC shows including Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Medical. You The Jury will be the fifth Wolf production on the network.
No scheduled air dates for You The Jury have been announced.
