Producer Dick Wolf is four for four in the renewal scorecard on NBC, with the network issuing renewals for next season to “Law & Order: SVU” and the trio of Chicago-set hours: “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD” and “Chicago Med.” This will take “Law & Order: SVU” into season 20, which will tie “Gunsmoke” and parent series “Law & Order” as the longest running scripted dramas in the history of television. “Chicago Fire” heads into season seven, “Chicago PD” season six and “Chicago Med” season four.
