We're a full month into the 2025 TV schedule by this point, but Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 still has not received a premiere date on Peacock. It will be the show's first season as a streaming original rather than an NBC series airing after Law & Order: SVU on Thursday nights, but it was the latest NBC Thursday that made me start missing Christopher Meloni 's spinoff all over again, and it's all because of a promo that confirmed the next mini crossover in the Law & Order world. Tony Goldwyn is joining Mariska Hargitay in just a couple weeks.
The preview that aired after the latest episode of SVU , which is available streaming now with a Peacock subscription and also dropped an intriguing mention of Benson's backstory , mostly looks like business as usual for the show about – to quote the opening narration – "sexually-based offenses" that are "considered especially heinous." That is, until a quick shot of Law & Order series regular Tony Goldwyn in a car as DA Nick Baxter, seemingly meeting with Peter Scanavino's ADA Carisi and Captain Benson herself. Take a look: There's no reason to believe that this episode of SVU will include any more allusions to Organized Crime than usual.
.. which is to say, no allusions to Organized Crime .
Still, seeing two of the three current Law & Order shows sharing characters reminds me of when there were three NBC shows' worth of characters to share, and OC has some of the most interesting figures in the L&O corner of the nine-show D.
