Organized Crime Season 5 Gets Intriguing Update (Including Potential Streaming Twist)

The future of Law & Order: Organized Crime has gotten an intriguing update. The show is the sixth spinoff of the franchise and one of just three that remain on the air, a roster which also includes the flagship show and Special Victims Unit. Although OC follows serialized storylines as opposed to the episodic scenarios presented by the other shows in the universe, it frequently features crossovers with those shows and, in fact, lead character Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) originated on SVU, having been a lead character for the show’s first 12 seasons.

Per Deadline, Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 is still on the bubble. In fact, it is the only scripted drama about which NBC has not made a decision, though the comedies Extended Family, Lopez vs Lopez, and Night Court are also pending renewal. Reportedly, the serialized drama has proven to be more of a hit via streaming on Peacock than it has in the network ratings, so if the network cancels the show it could be picked up for streaming and find new life on the NBC Universal-branded platform.

More to come…
