NBC has canceled "Law & Order:
Organized Crime" after five seasons, with no return for a sixth season on either NBC or Peacock.
The spinoff series starred Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, a character from "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," and followed his return to the New York Police Department to join the Organized Crime Task Force after his wife's murder. The show premiered with an eight-episode first season on NBC in April 2021, followed by 22-episode seasons 2 and 3 on the network, a 13-episode season 4 on NBC, and a 10-episode fifth season on Peacock.
The final episode aired in June 2025.
Meloni served as an executive producer alongside franchise creator Dick Wolf.
The series marked Meloni's return to the "Law & Order" universe since leaving "SVU" in 2011, and it explored Stabler's personal life, including his family relationships. The cast included actors such as Ainsley Seiger, Rick Gonzalez, and Dean Norris, in addition to Meloni.
