Law & Order: SVU shoots on the same Manhattan soundstage where the original Law & Order used to film. So when L&O mainstay Sam Waterston recently showed up to shoot another return to the franchise, the visit included his first time setting foot in the very courtroom where Jack McCoy won justice for countless victims of unspeakable crimes.
From the looks of these exclusive photos, it was a happy homecoming.
As previously reported, the series announced Waterston’s reprisal of the Law and Order prosecutor in late 2017. The actor played District Attorney’s office denizen McCoy for 16 seasons on the Dick Wolf-created original series and appeared in three SVU episodes; Season 11’s “Torch” marked his last visit.
