NBC Confirms Law & Order Show’s Move to Peacock

The three Law & Order shows on NBC are all set to continue, but one is making the move to streaming after a run on broadcast television. Following reports that Law & Order: Organized Crime would be moving to Peacock to become a streaming series, the news has been made official.

Per NBCUniversal, it’s been officially announced that Law & Order: Organized Crime has been renewed for Season 5. Along with the renewal comes the confirmation that the series is hopping over to Peacock moving forward. John Shiban will return as showrunner for Season 5 despite the switch. Of course, Christopher Meloni will also continue to star in his franchise role as Det. Elliot Stabler.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has featured some impressive actors and actresses that, even after their exit, left an unforgettable mark.

Law & Order: Organized Crime is created by Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, and Ilene Chaiken. Wolf and Shiban executive produce with Meloni, Paul Cabbad, Jon Cassar, Arthur Forney, and Peter Jankowski. The show is produced by Universal Television in association with Wolf Entertainment.

Organized Crime Will Leave Behind Fellow NBC Shows

The main Law & Order series will be continuing on NBC. After an original run for 20 seasons between 1990 and 2010, the series returned for Season 21 in 2022. In March, the show was renewed for Season 24. It’s joined by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which continues to be a major success since its debut in 1999. It was also renewed in March, which will put the series into its 26th season. Meanwhile, a Canadian spinoff, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, debuted to high viewership on Canada’s Citytv in February.

Detective Bashir from Organized Crime

Samir Hashir’s introduction in Law & Order: Organized Crime kicked off a string of intense events for the series, but what was his ultimate fate?

There’s a precedent for Law & Order shows moving to find continued success, though Organized Crime will be the first time a series has switched from broadcast television to streaming. Law & Order: Criminal Intent originally ran on NBC for six seasons before moving to USA Network, where it continued for another four seasons. In the case of Organized Crime, the series features more serialized storytelling compared to Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU, and this could be why the show is performing below the other Wolf-produced dramas on NBC. Notably, however, Organized Crime has been performing well on Peacock, so the move does make sense from a business standpoint.

Stream Law & Order: Organized Crime on Peacock. The Season 4 finale will be airing on NBC on Thursday, May 16, and will become available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
