Production on Law & Order: Trial By Jury will continue despite the recent death of the series' star, Jerry Orbach.
"While Jerry is irreplaceable, Law & Order: Trial by Jury is an ensemble and will continue in production," Dick Wolf Productions said in a statement. "A new cast member will join the company, announcements will be forthcoming."
Orbach died of prostate cancer at the age of 69 earlier this week. He played the character of Lennie Briscoe from 1992 through this year, when Briscoe was to transfer to the new Trial spinoff.
