Law & Order: Organized Crime S1

Emmy nominee Christopher Meloni (Happy!, The Handmaid’s Tale, Oz) reprises his iconic Law & Order: Special Victims Unit role as Elliot Stabler in Law & Order: Organized Crime. Searching for justice as he tries to piece his life back together, Stabler joins the NYPD’s Organized Crime Task Force, led by Sergeant Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt), to go after NYC’s most powerful crime syndicate.

From Emmy-winning franchise creator Dick Wolf and Emmy-winning series creator Ilene Chaiken (The L Word: Generation Q, Empire, The Handmaid’s Tale), Law & Order: Organized Crime also stars ​​Emmy nominee Dylan McDermott (The Practice, American Horror Story) and Tamara Taylor (Bones’ Camille Saroyan, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), with Special Victims Unit’s Mariska Hargitay guest starring as Captain Olivia Benson, Stabler’s former partner.

Following a single story-arc over this season’s eight episodes, this gritty, topical entry into the Law & Order canon has already been renewed for a 24-episode second season.

You can also binge Season 21 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on Showmax now.
