‘Chicago Justice’ EP Michael Chernuchin Joins ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Season 19 As Showrunner

“Chicago Justice” may have been canceled by NBC after one season, but this does not mean executive producer Michael Chernuchin has lost his job.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the EP has been tapped to take over Mariska Hargitay’s hit TV series, “Law & Order: SVU,” for Season 19. Chernuchin will succeed Rick Eid, and he won’t have any problems with the job because he used to be the showrunner for the original “Law & Order” series.
