Organized Crime, the seventh Law & Order series, follows the detectives of the Organized Crime Control Bureau as they take on New York City’s most vicious and violent criminal syndicates. The series debuted in 2021 and spent four seasons on NBC, where it had ample opportunities for crossovers with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, reuniting Stabler with his old partner Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).
With Organized Crime’s renewal this May came the news that the series would be moving to Peacock for Season 5, which doesn’t yet have a premiere date. Other Organized Crime cast members include Danielle Moné Truitt (Ayanna Bell), Ainsley Seiger (Jet Slootmaekers), Rick Gonzalez (Bobby Reyes), and Dean Norris (Randall Stabler).
