The long-awaited Law & Order revival is currently on hold as creator Dick Wolf works on a new Chicago spinoff.

Talk of NBC bringing back the procedural drama first emerged more than a year ago - although no firm deal was ever put into place.

Speaking after the TCA press tour this week, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke confirmed that negotiations are being shelved at this point.

"Nothing's happening on that right now," Salke told TVInsider. "We did talk about doing a limited Law & Order miniseries, but we're focused on the Chicago world right now.

"You might see another show coming out of that before you see Law & Order [return]."

At the TCAs, NBC hinted that a legal spinoff of the Chicago Fire/PD/ Med shows is also in the works.

The Chicago programmes are set in the same fictional universe as Law & Order - and have crossed over with Special Victims Unit in the past.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is currently airing its 17th season on NBC.
