Both NBC’s Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU have already been renewed for 2024-25, but the fate of Law & Order: Organized Crime remains up in the air. Per Deadline, the series might find new life on Peacock if not renewed by NBC.
Starring Christopher Meloni, Danielle Moné Truitt, Ainsley Seiger, and Rick Gonzalez, the Law & Order: Organized Crime series follows Detective Elliot Stabler and his team at NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau as they work to dismantle the city’s most vicious and violent illegal enterprises.
Airing on Thursday nights, the fourth season of Law & Order: Organized Crime averages a 0.36 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.45 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 19% in the demo and up by 0.23% in viewership. It’s the lowest-rated show of the franchise’s three shows but also airs in the latest timeslot.
The following was said about the possibility of a fifth season renewal:
It’s always been an outlier, a departure from the Dick Wolf procedural brand with its darker and serialized storytelling. Possibly as a result, the series starring Christopher Meloni has performed below the five other Wolf dramas on the linear NBC network, while it has reportedly done well on Peacock.
That last part may prove key to Organized Crime‘s future, which has fans so worried they are launching petitions to help get the show renewed. I hear that if NBC opts not to proceed with Season 5 of Organized Crime, the series could migrate to Peacock, giving the NBCUniversal streamer an original Wolf drama series to go with the Wolf library and next-day runs of the Wolf Entertainment NBC series that are among the platform’s most viewed titles.
What do you think? Have you kept up with Organized Crime? Do you want to see the NBC drama continue on the network?
I love the show
I wait for all the episodes to come on Peacock and then watch them
I think organized crime is the best law and order. Keep it!!!
I love ALL of the LAW & ORDER programs. Please DON’T cancel L&O Organized Crime. Move it to Peacock if you want but KEEP IT ON THE AIR!!! Thank you!
I really enjoy the show and NBC needs to renew it.
Can we really afford to lose another show of high intelligence? A stellar cast, with extraordinary kudos going to Christopher and Ainsley!
Season 2 was amazing. The cast and the 3 arcs that spanned that season were flawless. Kudos to whomever was the show runner at that time. I fell in love with this series during that season. I still record the show.
NBC needs to keep it. I watch all the law and orders.
I know I love organized crime! So happy to see Elliot back if anything they should merge it with SVU. There’s only three of them now so
I have been following it since the onset. GREAT series. It needs to stay in NBC as many people don’t need to pay for an online source to watch a series they started on a Nationwide channel ! RENEW RENEW RENEW ……….
I love the show. Elliott is a part of the original SVU. I never watch the Law in Order show. I Hope they decide to leave it on another year or more
Ellen Burstyn has caused me to kinda like Organized Crime
I hope it gets renewed. I love Christopher Meloni and the whole cast. Let’s not lose another good show !
I really hope it gets renewed I really like tbis show. Peacock is a streaming service we have to pay for. Enough with all these streaming channels.
I feel that all the sitcoms this year has been failing but not because of the viewers. It is because they are spread out 1 weeks and then it doesn’t come back for another 2 weeks etc. You forget where you were when it returns so we loose interest as we don’t remember what happened 2 weeks ago. It is not the viewers fault. It is the writers fault. I don’t think Law & Order Organized should be dropped as it has the most intense story line so it’s a little harder to remember where he was at. Also I… Read more »
btw – agree, but it’s not a sitcom. Sitcom refers to comedy shows, not drama.
I absolutely love the show. I feel they should keep it!!!!!
