Camryn Manheim, who played the skeptical yet warm-hearted Delia Banks, has returned to her roots in legal drama.

She is confirmed to be a part of Season 23 of *Law & Order*, maintaining a strong presence on network television.
Manheim is also a proud mother to her son, Milo Manheim, who is a rising star in his own right, known for his roles in Disney's *Zombies* franchise and stage work, including a run in *Little Shop of Horrors* in March 2025.

While no official announcement has been made in 2025, the door remains open for a future continuation.
The Life of Ned Banks (Christoph Sanders)
