NBC and L&O creator Dick Wolf are reportedly in talks with British firm Kudos Film & Television to produce a London version of the long-running series for the U.K.'s ITV network.
The series, tentatively titled "Law & Order: London," would mark the first British version of the series, which has run for 18 years in the U.S. and given rise to two spin-offs, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."
The British version of the show would also be the first English-speaking version of any series in the L&O franchise outside of the U.S.
Russia has its own local versions of "L&O: SVU" and "L&O: CI," while France has its own version of "L&O: CI."
The U.S. series has won an Emmy for outstanding drama and several Emmys for acting. It is TV's longest-running crime series and is surpassed only by "Gunsmoke" as the longest-running drama series.
