Law & Order Season 23 continues with “Castle in the Sky,” airing on NBC on Thursday May 2, 2024.
In this installment, Detectives Shaw and Riley find themselves entangled in a complex case when a real estate developer is found dead in one of his own buildings. With a long list of potential suspects, the detectives must navigate a web of deceit and betrayal to uncover the truth behind the murder. Adding to the intrigue, Dixon and her son are deeply concerned about the welfare of the defendant’s young daughter and plead with Price and Maroun for assistance.
As the investigation unfolds, the detectives face the challenge of sifting through numerous suspects and unraveling the motives behind the murder. The presence of a long list of potential suspects indicates that the victim had a wide range of connections, each with their own reasons for wanting the developer dead. The web of deceit and betrayal suggests that the truth may be more complex than it initially appears.
This season has seen notable cast changes, including the departure of Sam Waterston, who played District Attorney Jack McCoy for over 400 episodes since 1994. Waterston’s final episode aired on February 22, 2024, with his character being replaced by a new district attorney, Nicholas Baxter, played by Tony Goldwyn. Jeffrey Donovan, who portrayed Detective Frank Cosgrove, also exited the series, and Reid Scott joined the cast as Detective Vincent Riley, partnering with Mehcad Brooks’ Detective Jalen Shaw.
