The reason Chris Meloni left SVU in the first place was because of contract disputes. Now he’s finally back in the universe, SVU adjacent, and they move the show to a streaming platform not enough people use to premier at an undisclosed time. Idk just ask him to move to SVU if you’re gonna do major shifts like this. I want to see the new season and let this plot play out but changes like this are usually the kiss of death. Hopefully they let the show continue to thrive or weave the characters into the rest of the universe if they choose to can it.

I am wondering when we will.see Season 5 start. I have been looking forward to it, since the end of Season 4.

Law & Order: Organized Crime*‘*s move to Peacock will come with a new addition.

Olivia Thirlby (Y: The Last Man) has joined the series for Season 5 in a recurring role, our sister site Variety reports. Details about her character are not currently available.

As recently reported by Matt’s Inside Line, the show was casting the role of a new, female detective/leader of the NYPD Counter-Terrorism Bureau. Hmm…

OMG? Was walking by 33rd street and saw this.

I might've missed some things but so far (from here, Twitter and Danielle's Instagram), we know that:

1. SVU's Benson and Carisi will make an appearance
2. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio will play "someone from Stabler's Past"
3. A lot of people from last season are coming back, inc. Dean Norris (upped to series regular) and Tate Ellington (Vargas)

And I'm putting a spoiler tag for this one since I don't think a lot of people on here know: >! a recurring female detective/leader of NYPD's counter terrorism unit will make an appearance. I guess in the other half of the season since they're currently looking to cast someone source !<

Let's hear the theories of her family. We know her parents and her stopped talking after they're refused to pay for her wedding. Do you think there's more to their strained relationship. Do you believe she came from money. Is she running from something?

I wish they didn’t have Nova kill Webb and kept her on as part of the task force

Have they even started shooting the shows or not yet?

In 12 svu it was never mentioned that stabler has siblings right? And now they play a big part in oc

So far we have three Stabler kids on the canvas, (Randall, Elliot and Joe Junior), and we know that they have another brother that hasn’t been introduced yet. But apparently they have twin sisters that actually are referred to by name but haven’t made an appearance yet. Assuming that we aren’t going to see them at any point in the near future for now, who do you think should play the twins?

I've watched Law & Order Organized Crime since episode one, and now I'm bummed that it's moving to Peacock and I won't be able to watch it anymore. I guess all good things come to an end. I simply can't afford streaming networks, so I hope that someday the episodes are available on regular TV in syndication. Thursday nights just aren't going to be the same.

Can anyone tell me how to watch OC on peacock in aus? 😢😢

For comparison, OC S4 debuted last season with a demographic of 0.46 and 3.90 million viewers. Those values are actually higher than the L&O premieres this season, with both shows dropping nearly 2 million viewers each compared to their openers last season, and higher than the shows airing at the 10pm time slot OC had.

I know it's still too early to judge, and those figures are pretty much standard for network tv these days, but if these shows are already doing this poor compared to their previous season, I fear OC wouldn't have done much better had it stayed on network tv.

Especially if you think about how poorly NBC has promoted the show from the jump (which is a rant I'll save for another day), the continuing decline in real time viewership, combined with that awful time slot that I'm pretty sure ABC put greys on to slowly kill it off, I could totally see NBC cancelling the show in the near future had it not moved to streaming.

After renewals were finalised, an NBC executive was interviewed about it and mentioned that 80% of OCs total viewers watched it outside the time slot. The following on peacock must have been really big if they decided to move it on there permanently. And in hindsight, probably saved the show and lowkey those executives' lives too because I'm pretty sure us fans, especially the Twitter folks, would've raised hell on earth had they taken OC away from us lmao.

I hate how it’s only 10 episodes now but if it’s high quality storylines and undercover work I’ll let it slide because usually those storylines are 9-10 episodes anyway. But I hope they don’t switch the formula. I don’t want it to turn into a case by case show which I doubt it will ever be I think they already shut that down.

It just isn’t right… should be OC.

Danielle Mone Truitt - the amazing actress who plays Ayanna Bell - responded to comments in her IG post and said the show will return sometime in 2025 but they haven’t been told when yet.

I know this doesn’t tell us anything, but given everyone keeps asking about a premiere date, I figured it was worth sharing that the cast doesn’t know either.

Tagging as spoiler just in case.

I didn't start Organized Crime from season 1. I went in around season 3 during the SVU crossover episodes because I liked the Benson X Stabler dynamic.

Then I continued on to season 4. It's still pretty enjoyable on its own even without new crossovers.

It's really grown on me, and hopefully this show lasts longer.

One of the stuff that weirded me out at first was the small town corruption serial killer storyline. It didn't seem very "organized crime-"y at first. In fact it reminded me more of typical Criminal Minds episodes.

Although with the introduction of the Vargas character (the AI software guy), it's like Jet and he are the" Penelope Garcia" (from Criminal Minds) of OC.

I've reached the bee keeper stall episode on season 4. And I couldn't control cracking up when Reyes and Jet showed up "undercover" as lifestyle bloggers /influencers.

It reminded me of the earlier episode when the two of them showed up at the car wrap/ skin shop in costume too. 🤣

Hope to see them both doing more undercover skits like that.

Then the comic timing when Stabler showed up at the unscrupulous cosmetic surgery clinic was so good too - when the receptionist told him "oh we don't do hair plugs here" after seeing his bald head, and his reaction.

I wish we'd see the Meredith Bonner and the "Longo" guest characters drop in the future, I thought they were pretty good.

Longo especially - from the Shadowerk season 3 episodes. Getting mad that the assassination bounty on him was too cheap. 😂

If the only reason why Eli was written to be joining the police academy and his girlfriend is now pregnant with his child was because at that point the show was on the bubble and the showrunners were worried that it might get cancelled at the end of the season, with the show now obviously getting another season, are these plot points still going to play out?

I think Eli is definitely going to be attending the police academy for a while but maybe eventually something is going to happen where he reaches some kind of epiphany and he realizes that being a cop isn’t really for him. But I can’t really see him having a baby at this point in his life and knowing how this show operates, I expect some kind of tragedy to occur where his girlfriend experiences a miscarriage and that will be the end of that. And maybe the tragedy ends up driving the two apart and they break up. At least that would be different from Elliot’s story, or at least I hope so. I don’t want Eli to be a carbon copy of his dad because that would be kind of boring.

Is there a rumor when season 5 will start on peacock?

I'm in season 4 of my Organized Crime re-watch. Stabler just got suspended again. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Does anyone know how many times over the course of both SVU and OC Stabler has shot someone or been suspended? I've counted 11 shootings, but I could be wrong.

Hi guys. In S4E8, Elliot says "Take a look at the bird, boys. Say hi."

What does it mean? lol Never heard of this saying before. Thanks :)

Dylan McDermott can’t quite pull this off. 😂

S1E7 “Everybody Takes a Beating Sometime”

Just re-binged s3 and 4, and am obsessed with Stabler's yellow patterned mugs. Anyone know their source?

Do you like “good behavior” (whatever that might look like) Stabler or unhinged Stabler?

I would like to see unbridled Stabler again- like he was after Kathy’s death. Unhinged vigilante Stabler (when he is going down the rabbit hole & on the edge of crazy) is entertaining. Mixing in his dysfunctional family members on the other side of his life adds contrast & humor. It also almost makes on/over the precipice Stabler seem relatable.
OC can stand on its own. If they leave Benson out of it- his work colleagues could shine. Vargas, Jet & Bell need more screen time.
