Stabler and his team will be back on the job for season five but will have a new home. Law & Order: Organized Crime is reportedly being renewed but is moving from NBC to the Peacock streaming service.
A procedural drama series, Law & Order: Organized Crime is a spin-off of the long-running Law & Order: SVU TV show and stars Christopher Meloni, Danielle Moné Truitt, Ainsley Seiger, and Rick Gonzalez. Dean Norris and Michael Trotter have recurring roles in the fourth season. The story follows the detectives of the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau as they work to dismantle the city’s most vicious and violent illegal enterprises. Det. Elliot Stabler (Meloni) has returned to the force after a decade away and must rebuild his life after a devastating personal loss. Stabler’s sergeant and partner, Ayanna Bell (Truitt), leads the task force. Observant and deceivingly smart, Jet Slootmaekers (Seiger) utilizes her tech expertise and hacking skills to give the team a leg up on striking their target. Meanwhile, Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes (Gonzalez) specializes in undercover work.
Airing late on Thursday nights, the fourth season of Law & Order: Organized Crime averages a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.44 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). That’s down by 20% in the demo and even in viewers.
It’s the lowest-rated of the six Wolf Entertainment shows on NBC but has reportedly done well on Peacock.
It had been hinted that the move to the streamer was a possibility earlier this month. The decision will mean that Peacock will have an exclusive Dick Wolf drama series, likely an attempt to entice Law & Order franchise fans to subscribe.
With the overall success of two nights of Dick Wolf shows on NBC, it seems likely that the network will want a new Wolf series to fill Organized Crime’s timeslot. Perhaps a spin-off starring Kellie Giddish or some other veteran of the franchise?
What do you think? Are you glad that Law & Order: Organized Crime has been renewed for a fifth year? Will you be watching on Peacock? Would you like to see a new Law & Order show take its place on NBC?
Sad I already pay to much for tv!!!!! Will not watch
I believe that this is NBC’S attempt at extortion by moving this and other quality shows to their streaming service to line Universal’s ( NBC’S Parent company) pockets to get more money from everyday people. I will miss Criminal Intent but won’t give in to extortion by paying to watch it , The same for Notre Dame Football. Hopefully if enough people protest this move then NBC will change their mind.
Hopefully, we will get some sort of prompt when it shows up on Paramount+ Otherwise, how will we know it’s running.
Why would it be on Paramount+ when it is an NBC show and Peacock is part of NBC .
Taking series (that have been on local channels forever) away and “streaming” them on streaming service that I can not afford (fixed income) on top of cable, internet bundles is sad…I watch NBC the most! Now I am loosing my shows! I am so sad…Other channels are doing this also, streaming services are different. Just can’t afford this anymore.
Too bad. I watch the show, but I will not subscribe to Peacock to see it.
No, I will not be watching the show on Peacock. I do like it but will not be paying extra to see it.
No way I will subscribe to Peacock just to see Law and Order Organized Crime. I like this show but it my least favorite of the Law and Order series.
Who is the genius at Wolf Productions that made this asinine decision?
I do not have peacock and do not intend to get it because you move the good shows over to it. I will miss Law and Order Organized crime but hope it has a good run on Peacock!
I don’t have streaming stations and I hate when I have watched a show for a long time and it moves to a streaming station. Why do they have to do that! Please keep shows on normal TV channels.
Hard to realize I have been watching Law and Order shows for so very long. Enjoy them every week even the reruns. Hate to have one leave NBC for another network! Maybe keep it where it is forever!
Another foolish move of a quality program to less visability.
Peacock is a lousy streaming service! I never watch NBC, drivel!!!
I don’t know why good shoes go to a streaming service. I have been watching all of The Law and Order shows for years & I love Law and Order Organized Crime. Please keep it on NBC with the others. I have been a loyal fan for many years & I’m not happy about this at all. I’m sure there are many fans that feel the same way I do. Please keep it on NBC!!!!!
Surely it’s better it’s still on than completely cancelled?
NBC You move Law Order Organization crime to peacock that dump. I don’t have steam.
