The start of production for NBC’s latest "Law & Order" spinoff has been delayed from July 22 to Aug. 2, reports Deadline.com.

"Law & Order: Los Angeles" has only announced one star, Skeet Ulrich, so casting appears to be an issue in the delay.

As of Thursday’s announcement about the NBC fall premieres, "Law & Order: L.A." was scheduled to bow Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 10 p.m. ET.
