‘Law & Order’ Organized Crime Canceled After 5 Seasons
Law & Order: Organized Crime has officially been canceled after making the move from NBC to Peacock for its fifth season. The Season 5 finale began streaming on June 12, 2025, and a decision about Season 6 had yet to be made, until now, meaning that episode is the show’s series finale.
The news of Organize Crime‘s cancellation comes about a month after series star Danielle Moné Truitt answered a question in the comments on her Instagram about the show’s future. “Hey Dani is Organized Crime coming back?” someone wrote. “Not sure Hun,” Truitt replied. See the screenshot below.
This came after Deadline called it on February 23, “not very active at the moment,” though noted, there has been “a soft outreach” for a new showrunner, and should one be found, there was “a chance” for a Season 6.

In fall 2025, Organized Crime returned to NBC, airing alongside Law & Order and SVU to bring back the franchise’s takeover of Thursday nights, but the network simply re-aired the Season 5 episodes that were already streaming. Christopher Meloni also appeared in the SVU Season 27 premiere, joining Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) outside the wake for their former boss, Cragen, but their interaction didn’t include any mention of what’s going on with Stabler professionally, to even hint at what the future could hold for him.
Read on for everything we know about Organized Crime‘s fate.
Is Law & Order: Organized Crime renewed for Season 6?
No, unfortunately, Law & Order: Organized Crime has been canceled after five seasons, meaning the show will not return for a sixth. The news comes nearly a year after the Season 5 finale dropped on Peacock.
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 would have been 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.
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.”
What’s going on with the other Law & Order shows?
Law & Order and SVU, on NBC, are currently airing their 25th and 27th seasons, respectively.

Jet was really a great character. She brought a lot of character to her character 😄. I really hope it's renewed soon! Itd be a terrible loss to drop it now!

It is very frustrating that Law and order OC is on the bubble again, or Dick Wolf cant deside if the show should return.
We waited ten years for Stabler and Benson to rekindle their partnership. We just got teased we the people want them as a team. This is not Rocket Sicence the fans what it so please listen to the fans.
Stabler left due to contract disputes, now 15 years later the fans still want them and what do we get lip service.
Stop the crap and give us what we want. SVU has two Captains which is unheard of. Now make a change to SUV cast and make room for Stabler.
The rattings will go through the roof if the Stabler & Benson team is together once again. You can take that to the bank.
Thanks for the time

Hopefully Peacock will listen to its viewers. What's the point if the network only has stupid reality shows? I live my own reality!!!

Well NBC especially needs to officially renew Law & Order Organized Crime for an actual Full Length Normal 6th Season but for it to be placed directly straight right back on & into the original plan & promise that NBC had so boldly promised all of us being the Faithful Law & Order fan base & followers that Thursday's we're going to be absolutely nothing other than that of being full block solely devoted to only to the Law & Order Franchise of being Primetime Show's only to have them break their very own actual promises to all of us but absolutely needs to officially & boldly renew Law & Order Organized Crime for not just an actual 6th Season but windup having it continue until the very end of the whole entire Law & Order Franchise as we know it to being come Fall 2026/Winter 2027 Season Schedule especially to where they'd ultimately windup going directly straight right on back to the actual original normal number of being for it's actual full length of episodes for each & every single season day in & day out though just solely so that we'd ultimately windup being blessed with that of being several actual crossover event's between all three of the actual Law & Order Franchise each & every single week in & week out!!

Jet made the show complete.
I think peacock hurt the shows ratings. Nbc is the place for organized crime.
The hunting game is just the same old story week after week. Get rid of the hunting game and put organized crime back on regular tv in Hp's place.

While I like Hunting Party, I would gladly give it up to have Organized Crime back with Jet. I loved that show and I can't believe they cancelled it. So tired of NBC taking shows from mainstream TV to force people to buy Peacock if they want to see it.

I think season 6 is a fantastic idea.

It would be very disappointing if this particular show was canceled. It ties in so beautifully with all the other law and order shows. Please bring it back!

I wish they would stop moving it around!!! Leave it on NBC. A lot of people are tired of having to pay extra to watch stuff they like! I am so far paying extra for Paramount + and HBOMax just to follow shows I like! Enough already!

I did not like Jet AT ALL the first few times I saw her. I quickly changed my opinion and she’s been one of my favorites ever since. Please bring her back!

I love this show! It’s the best law and order show! It sucks that there’s only 10 episodes in the seasons! Please bring back at sixth and have 22 or 23 episodes!

Bring Law and Order Organized Crime back for season 6. We need more closer on Joey's death and Jet absence felt like losing someone all over again. I need to watch Elliot, his family and team to heal and overcome their trauma. We have missed out on how Bell adapted through her divorce and custody issues, while maintaining leadership. These types of traumatic losses happen in real life and they should not be written or glossed over. Waiting for sure.

I've said this before. I loved L&O Organized Crime but just when I was hooked they moved it to Peacock! I don't subscribe to Peacock and I was really upset. Now it's back on NBC. I've been taping the episodes but I don't want to watch them, get hooked again, and then have them switched to Peacock! Also it's back on NBC but you have to pay for seasons I missed. Does anyone know if this will stay on NBC or will they switch it again to Peacock?

Last year, Hargitay was on a talk show and said "It's time" and words to the effect of "we've made the audience wait long enough" alluding to Stabler and Benson finally getting together romantically. The season had already been filmed, so it was a sure thing, given that she had made this public admission. There was no "would they or wouldn't they" in her comments; it was a done deal. However, it never happened. I'm sorely disappointed in Dick Wolf stringing us along for a lifetime. I'm ready to ditch both shows.

I say, put Organized Crime back on the regular NBC network and not Peacock. Everything was so much better then.

They should have never switched it over to Peacock. Grant it I have Peacock but not everyone can afford to pay for streaming services especially if they are already paying for cable. A fan base was already established for the show. It’s to bad because it was a good show.

That's 2 bad!! Was a good show and season 1 was my fave!! Luved the whole Wheatley plot line!! Dylan was awesome as Wheatley!! So, will Stabler b back on SVU??!! Stay tuned!!

Word is that the show burned through writers and producers. That's NEVER a good sign for a show, wherever it airs.

P
Too bad. It was a great show and not held to restraints since it was on streaming.

This show was way better than SVU. SVU had passed it's prime a number of years ago & Benson has become insufferable to watch anymore. Should have cancelled SVU & kept Organized Crime.

Maybe it would still be on if it wasn’t back and forth on NBC and Peacock. What was the point of moving it all around? It was a good show. Sad to see it go.

The main characters you had in the beginning, are the ones that really made the show. Bring them back make the shoes, exciting action packed, and adrenaline filled. Keep it on NBC after SVU instead of the shit you put on TV then you will have more viewers. don’t runoff course ! Keep it exciting!

I need it back! It was the best show ever I don’t care if you put it back on Peacock I will get Peacock in the fall if necessary, it was so action packed, and so adrenaline filled put it on with the rest of the Law and Orders like you did before bring back Jet ! She was part of the team ! And you will bring back the viewers ! Don’t be so stupid ! Instead of this stupid shit you put on TV put that back on.
