NBC Sets Premiere Date for Christopher Meloni-Led LAW & ORDER Spinoff ORGANIZED CRIME

NBC has set a Thursday, April 1 premiere date for its new midseason drama, LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME.

ORGANIZED CRIME, which stars Christopher Meloni reprising his LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT character Elliot Stabler, will air Thursdays at 10/9c, after SVU. (Meloni will also make his franchise return that night on SVU at 9/8c, for what NBC is dubbing “a must-watch” 2-hour event.)

In the series, Stabler “returns to the NYPD to battle organized crime after a devastating personal loss. Stabler will aim to rebuild his life as part of a new elite task force that is taking apart the city’s most powerful criminal syndicates one by one.” The series also stars Dylan McDermott and Tamara Taylor.

Ilene Chaiken is running the series, after stepping in as showrunner in December.

NBC also released the first photo of Meloni as Stabler in the ORGANIZED CRIME premiere, seemingly called “What Happens in Puglia”…
