What is ‘Organized Crime’ About?

Law & Order: Organized Crime is part of the Law & Order franchise, created by Dick Wolf. The series, which premiered on NBC in April 2021, marks the return of Elliot Stabler (played by Meloni), a character who was previously a mainstay on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) for its first twelve seasons. Stabler returns to the New York Police Department after a personal tragedy — the murder of his wife — motivates him to join a new task force dedicated to taking down organized crime syndicates.

The show diverges from the traditional Law & Order format by focusing more on serial storytelling across episodes, rather than the franchise’s usual procedural format where cases are typically resolved by the end of each episode. Law & Order: Organized Crime delves into the complexities of the criminal underworld, exploring the intricate relationships between criminal organisations and the legal and illegal actions they undertake to maintain power and control.

 


Stabler’s character also faces personal challenges, dealing with grief and the ramifications of his abrupt departure from SVU years earlier, including the strained relationship with his former partner, Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), who makes guest appearances on the show, further connecting it to the wider Law & Order universe.

Law & Order: Organized Crime combines elements of crime procedural drama with ongoing character-driven storylines, offering viewers a deeper look into the lives of its characters and the difficult battles they face both inside and outside the courtroom and the police department.

Law & Order: Organized Crime currently airs on Thursday evenings at 10PM ET/PT on NBC. Stay tuned to Collider for more news.
