Two-time Emmy nominee Maura Tierney is joining the cast of the NBC drama Law & Order for its upcoming Season 24.  Per TVLine, Tierney will play a police lieutenant on the long-running crime drama.

Tierney joins an ensemble cast that also includes Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott, Hugh Dancy and Odelya Halevi; her casting comes after news that Camryn Manheim departed the series after three seasons of playing Lt. Kate Dixon. Tony Goldwyn also joined L&O midway through last season, after the departure of the show’s longtime cast member, Sam Waterston.

Tierney has starred in two NBC series previously: NewsRadio from 1995-99 and ER from 1999-2009, and she earned her first Emmy nomination for playing Abby Lockhart on ER in 2001.  Tierney is currently co-starring in Twisters, and other recent credits include Showtime’s The Affair, Your Honor and The Iron Claw.  

Law & Order’s 24th season is scheduled to premiere Oct. 3 on NBC.
