According to TVLine, NBC is focused on getting the series based on the New York’s Hate Crimes Task Force -- the second oldest bias-based task force in the U.S. -- “right” versus “meeting an artificial deadline.” NBC gave a series order to Law & Order: Hate Crimes last September with former Law & Order: SVU boss Warren Leight tapped to serve as showrunner. The Hate Crimes series was supposed to be introduced this season as a backdoor pilot within an SVU episode.
