Get Ready for Action: Law & Order: Organized Crime Season Five Trailer Released
This past Wednesday, the highly anticipated trailer for the fifth season of Law & Order: Organized Crime was unveiled, showcasing Christopher Meloni reprising his role as Detective Elliot Stabler. The new season will premiere on Peacock on April 17, marking a significant shift in its broadcasting platform.
A Dangerous Revenge Plot Unfolds
As Stabler dives deeper into the murky depths of organized crime, he faces an unforgiving crime family seeking retribution for past actions. According to the logline from the show’s producers, “Season five explores the dangerous worlds of cross-border smuggling, high-tech domestic terrorism, and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler for the injury he did them in Rome. As these worlds collide, Stabler is determined to risk everything to shield the vulnerable and relentlessly pursue justice.”
Within the trailer, we witness the stakes rising dramatically, as Stabler jeopardizes not only his life but also the safety of his family. In a poignant and tense moment, his mother, played by Ellen Burstyn, warns him, “Do not make me bury you,” as he is shown gravely injured in a hospital bed.
A Strong Supporting Cast
Returning to the series are several key characters, including Danielle Moné Truitt as Sgt. Ayanna Bell, the lead detective tasked with dismantling New York City’s toughest crime syndicates. The cast for this season also features Rick Gonzalez as undercover expert Bobby Reyes and Ainsley Seiger as tech wizard Jet Slootmaekers.
New Alliances for Stabler
This season will also explore Stabler’s relationship with his brother, played by Dean Norris, as he seeks to ensure his family’s protection amid the chaos. The shift from NBC to Peacock represents a transformational move for the series, marking the first time a Law & Order show has aired outside NBC since Criminal Intent transitioned to USA Network in 2007.
