Law & Order: True Crime Season 2?
NBC has already spilled the cancellation of Law & Order: True Crime, but what would a theoretical second season look like?
Speaking to THR, showrunner Rene Balcer revealed his plan – the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995:
“Just before the [Television Critics Association summer press tour], I had mentioned to him the Tim McVeigh case and his eyes lit up. Because Dick and I were together, we were in the same office when the bomb went off in Oklahoma.”
Balcer recalls that Wolf immediately thought it to be Arab terrorists, “and that’s what everyone thought at the time. An hour and a half later, Tim McVeigh was under arrest so our view of domestic terrorism changed,” he explains. “I think that would be an incredible case especially in light of today’s politics. There’s pretty fantastic echoes in the present circumstances of the Oklahoma bombing and what was behind it. That would be a case that would interest me.”
Are you excited by those True Crime Season 2 plans? Hoping NBC reverses course?

Bring it on! Appreciate something besides “talent shows”, and really stupid so-called comedy. The Menendez Brothers was very interesting, and Edie Falco was awesome!!
