Season 4 of the show is anticipated to feature a thrilling crossover episode between SVU and the much-anticipated reunion of Stabler and Olivia. The specific release date for Season 4 is currently unknown, however, it is projected to take place in 2024, possibly in January or later.

Law & Order: Organized Crime has concluded its successful third season, and NBC has officially announced the renewal of Law & Order: Organized Crime for its fourth season. As one of the many renowned Dick Wolf shows on NBC, Law & Order: Organized Crime first debuted as a limited series, deviating from the typical episodic format of other Law & Order shows by telling a continuous storyline. Although this format was altered slightly in the second and third seasons, a change in leadership, with David Graziano taking over as the showrunner, ensures that Law & Order: Organized Crime will return to its serialized roots for season four.

While specific details about the upcoming season of Law & Order: Organized Crime have not been disclosed, enough has been confirmed to generate excitement among viewers for the next installment. Christopher Meloni's reprisal of his role as Elliot Stabler has been confirmed for Law & Order: Organized Crime season four. Furthermore, it is highly likely that the next season of Organized Crime will once again feature a crossover with SVU, providing fans with the highly anticipated Stabler-Olivia moments that were sorely missed during his absence from the franchise. Here is what is currently known about the upcoming season of Law & Order: Organized Crime, set to premiere in 2024.

Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Recent News

The much-awaited update on Law & Order: Organized Crime reveals that season 4 will not be included in NBC's fall 2023 lineup, disappointing many fans. In previous years, both the second and third seasons of Law & Order: Organized Crime premiered in September and consisted of a full 22 episodes. However, the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have caused a delay in the production of new Law & Order content, including season 4 of Organized Crime. Consequently, none of the Law & Order shows will be returning this year, and their comeback is expected to take place in January 2024, at the earliest. Nevertheless, the fourth season had already planned to reduce its episode count, making it less susceptible to the impact of the strikes.

In July 2023, Season 4 of Law & Order: Organized Crime was officially renewed. The renewal wasn't limited to just this show, as it also included the original Law & Order and the highly acclaimed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The renewal of these three shows in the Law & Order franchise, along with the three shows in the One Chicago franchise, were all celebrated by Dick Wolfe, the creator, as he announced the great news (via NBC Insider).

“I am delighted to maintain my longstanding four-decade partnership with Universal Television and NBC. The fact that all six shows are being renewed is a testament to the exceptional talent of our casts, producers, and writers. Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude to our devoted fans who have been instrumental in keeping our NBC shows on the air, resulting in a remarkable total of 84 seasons.”

Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Story

The main ensemble of Law & Order: Organized Crime is anticipated to return for the fourth season. Christopher Meloni will reprise his role as the lead character, Detective 1st Grade Elliot Stabler. Stabler, a former SVU detective who retired, came back to duty following the murder of his wife. Joining him are Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell, the OCCB task force's squad supervisor and Elliot's superior. Ainsley Seiger portrays Detective 2nd Grade Jet Slootmaekers, a former hacker who joined the OCCB task force upon Stabler's recommendation. Rick Gonzales also joins as Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes, an undercover officer within the OCCB.

Law & Order: Organized Crime season 4 will diverge from the typical format of shows in the Dick Wolf Law & Order franchise. In contrast to the original series and its spinoffs, Organized Crime takes on a serialized approach. Rather than featuring a new case every week, the series follows a single comprehensive criminal investigation that unfolds throughout the season. In season 2, Elliot Stabler rejoined the NYPD's elite organized crime task force to combat a crime family while simultaneously searching for his wife's murderer. The second season kept him on the trail of these crime families, while the third season addressed the issue of sex trafficking. The specific storyline for Law & Order: Organized Crime season 4 remains uncertain, and more information is expected to be revealed closer to the 2024 release date when the trailers become available.
