Will Jeffrey Donovan be back for Law & Order Season 24?
At this point, there's no reason to believe Jeffrey Donovan, who played no-nonsense, old-school detective Frank Cosgrove, will be back. After starring in Seasons 21 and 22, he did not return for Season 23.

Will Sam Waterston be in Law & Order Season 24?
No. Sam Waterston took his final bow as Jack McCoy in the Season 23 episode "Last Dance."
Will Camryn Manheim be in Law & Order Season 24?
No. Manheim's run as Lieutenant Kate Dixon ended with Season 23. Manheim joined the series when it was revived in 2022 as successor to Lieutenant Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson), who starred on the original series from Season 4 to Season 20, and exited just after the iconic procedural hit 500 episodes.
