“Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” Explores The Rise of Terrorism in the United States in Season Two Premiering August 21

Produced by iHeartPodcasts, Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment, the new season explores the rise of terrorism in the U.S.—and how law enforcement evolved to confront it.

Listen to the official trailer now HERE

NEW YORK – AUGUST 14, 2025 – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, Universal Television (UTV) and Wolf Entertainment today announced the return of their unscripted true-crime podcast series “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System.” The first two episodes of the 10-episode season will premiere on Thursday, August 21, 2025, with subsequent episodes available weekly. 

Listeners can follow “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” and listen to the second season trailer now on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are available. Listeners can tune in to the complete first season here.

“We’re thrilled to continue building the Law & Order brand in audio with another season of ‘Law & Order: Criminal Justice System’, telling the stories that have shaped our criminal justice system today,” said Executive Producer Elliot Wolf. “It’s been a pleasure working with iHeart, UTV, and Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi who share our vision of delivering an exceptional storytelling experience with audio, which is exactly what this series does.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to continue our partnership with Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television to bring listeners season two of ‘Law & Order: Criminal Justice System,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “This podcast series is a fan favorite and we look forward to diving deeper into more cases that have shaped our criminal justice system.”

Hosted by former Brooklyn homicide prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi, the second season of “Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” will dive into the creation of the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF.) In December of 1975, a massive explosion tore through the TWA baggage claim area at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, killing eleven and injuring more than seventy. As the smoke cleared, survivors desperately searched for loved ones. It was at that moment America realized the threat of terrorism on its own soil was real.

The LaGuardia Airport bombing marked a turning point. It triggered a fundamental shift in how New York City and the nation approached terrorism—leading to the creation of the JTTF and transforming counter-terrorism efforts in the U.S. This season will explore the JTTF’s formation amid a city grappling with rising crime and the lingering shadow of organized crime. Nicolazzi will dive into the task force’s early days, its growing pains, and the landmark cases that defined its mission—from investigating LaGuardia to confronting international and domestic threats.

Executive Producer Elliot Wolf has served as an executive producer for the award-winning audio fiction series "Dark Woods”, which is now being developed into a scripted television series by Universal Television. He also executive produced the chart-topping hit podcast series' “Eavesdropper”, “Hunted,” and "Aftermath: Hunt for the Anthrax Killer". He also serves as EVP of Digital for Wolf Entertainment, where he spearheads the company’s digital initiatives including podcasting, social media, e-commerce and licensing and co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Wolf Games, a generative gaming startup.

The “Law & Order” branded television shows have been produced by Universal Television for NBC for over 25 years, with “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” currently in Season 27 and “Law & Order” in Season 25.

Law & Order: Criminal Justice System” will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts. It is available on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.

Lisa Coffey Joins iHeartMedia as Chief Business Officer

New York, NY -- iHeartMedia, the #1 audio company in America, announced today that Lisa Coffey, who has deep expertise in ad tech and digital and mobile advertising, has joined the company in the newly-created role of Chief Business Officer. 

In this new role Coffey will oversee the development, implementation and revenue from iHeart’s new Advanced Advertising Products and platforms, including programmatic solutions for broadcast radio, and lead iHeart’s effort to digitize and scale an addressable audio ecosystem.  She will report directly to Bob Pittman, iHeart’s Chairman and CEO, and Rich Bressler, iHeart’s President, COO and CFO.  

Coffey has a proven record of leading successful transformations across both traditional and digital media, and brings extensive experience as a business strategist, commercial leader and operating executive.  She joins iHeart from her position as Global Chief Revenue Officer at LoopMe, where she directed global revenue, partnerships and growth strategies. Prior to LoopMe, Lisa held key leadership positions at Amazon, including Head of Business Development for Amazon Hub and Head of Agency Development, where she founded and led the agency team that introduced Amazon Advertising to the U.S. marketplace.

“We’ve been working to transform our broadcast advertising media to a more digital-like product, including strong data, attribution and targeting capabilities as well as creating new marketing and advertising products. Lisa’s unique skills and experience will enable us to take the critical next step in bringing this to market,” said Pittman.  “We’re thrilled that Lisa has joined our team, and we’re confident that Lisa is exceptionally well-suited to lead this critical growth initiative for iHeartMedia, helping us unlock the full potential of our scale, platforms and content.”

“I’m excited to join iHeartMedia, a premier brand in the advertising industry. The opportunity to drive innovation that modernizes audio and integrates live audiences into the digital ecosystem, aligned with how brands buy and transact today, is incredibly compelling,” said Coffey. “And because broadcast radio has 3 to 4 times the reach of any streaming audio service, and is over two thirds of the total daily audio usage by consumers, I look forward to launching a platform that makes those audiences addressable and scalable for the advertising and marketing community.”

Coffey continued, “With its expansive reach, strong brand equity, and rich content portfolio, iHeartMedia is uniquely positioned to build a centralized advertising platform for both broadcast and streaming, efficiently matching supply with demand. With unparalleled assets and the ability to scale its offerings by productizing data across unified inventory we can advance the modernization of broadcast within the ad tech ecosystem. In addition, iHeart’s local presence and community influence offer a powerful advantage for brands in creating national impact through authentic, localized engagement.”
