If you don’t know, the Law & Order shows on NBC are some of the biggest hits on the air right now. There are three that air weekly – SVU, Criminal Intent, and the OG series.
But, you may not have realized that Law & Order: Criminal Intent is moving to Peacock next season and won’t air on NBC anymore.
Now, an NBC exec is explaining the reason why this decision was made.
Jeff Bader, President of Program Planning Strategy at NBCUniversal Entertainment, shared with TV Line, “Organized Crime is a VERY successful show; this isn’t a show that was on the bubble. It’s a show that works across the board, and it’s very, very strong on streaming. [Moving Season 5 to Peacock] is a win-win for us — 80% of its viewing isn’t in the time period where we schedule it, it’s delayed on Peacock, so it just made sense to move that to free up the time period.”
