Law & Order: Organized Crime made the move from NBC to Peacock for its fifth season, and due to the nature of streaming shows, that means it only consisted of 10 episodes.

The Season 5 finale of the Christopher Meloni-led drama began streaming as of Thursday, June 12. This season saw the exit of an original cast member and a major death for the Stabler family. But what does Organized Crime‘s future hold? Does it have one? Read on for everything we know about a potential Season 6, from the cast to the premiere date and more.

Is Law & Order: Organized Crime renewed for Season 6?

Not yet. But the finale was just released, and it’s its first on Peacock. It’s not necessarily a bad sign that it hasn’t been renewed.

What happened in the Organized Crime Season 5 finale?

In the penultimate episode, Stabler’s brother Joe Jr. (Michael Trotter) was murdered by crime boss Julian Emery (Tom Payne), whom he’d been traveling with since the Season 4 finale. In the Season 5 finale, Stabler and the NYPD did arrest Emery, who tried to get a deal for home confinement by offering up valuable intel, but then critical information arrived via Joe Jr. He had mailed a flash drive on which he’d kept all the evidence he’d been gathering against Emery. He was honored with a plaque for his work as a criminal informant.

Who’s in the Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 6 cast?

In addition to Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler, the series regular cast by the end of Season 5 included Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell, Rick Gonzalez as Detective Bobby Reyes, and Dean Norris as Randall Stabler. In Season 5 Episode 3, Detective Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger) took a leave from the team. If the show is renewed, we’ll have to see who returns.

When would Organized Crime Season 6 premiere?

That’s hard to say. Streaming shows are 10 episodes, so it would either be a fall or midseason show. We predict the latter, just due to production, if it is renewed and is going to be released during the 2025-2026 season.

What would Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 6 be about?

Beyond another multi-episode arc for the OCCB and some more Stabler family drama, it’s hard to say.

“I don’t think anybody including Peacock knows exactly what they’re going to do just yet,” Meloni told TV Insider on June 10 when discussing what could be coming up in Season 6.

But he added, “I hope it’s something that pushes the boundaries, provocative storytelling in this crime-family drama. I hope all the actors that surround me have a larger slice of the pie because I think ensemble pieces appeal to me. I think there is more room to tell stories in the dynamic and relationships. I feel we did it this year. We took advantage of the Peacock platform, which allows for a little more elbow room for storytelling. I hope we continue that trend.”
