After four seasons on NBC, Law & Order: Organized Crime has found a new home. Dick Wolf’s Law & Order spin-off is officially coming back for its fifth season, which will premiere on the streaming service Peacock instead of NBC.
Organized Crime reunited us with Christopher Meloni’s fan-favorite character Elliot Stabler from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. His retirement comes to an end following his wife’s murder and he decides to join the NYPD and work under Sergeant Ayanna Bell’s command in the hope he’ll find the killer.
In addition to Meloni in the lead role, the cast of Organized Crime also includes Danielle Moné Truitt, Tamara Taylor, Ainsley Seiger, Dylan McDermott, Nona Parker-Johnson, Brent Antonello, and Rick Gonzalez.
NBC didn’t explain their decision to move Organized Crime to their streaming service Peacock, but ratings probably came into play. This series performed below the other Wolf dramas on NBC while doing pretty well on Peacock, most likely because it embraced a darker tone and serialized storytelling that’s not characteristic of other shows in the franchise.
Law & Order: Organized Crime will stream exclusively on Peacock when it comes back for Season 5 after the streamer gave it a 10-episode order.
