It’s going to be almost a year between new episodes of Law & Order: Organized Crime. The SVU spinoff, following Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) as lead detective in Sgt. Ayanna Bell’s (Danielle Moné Truitt) Organized Crime Control Bureau, returns for its fifth season, still on Thursdays, but at a new home on the streaming service Peacock, on April 17. (The first four seasons aired on NBC, as part of Law & Order Thursdays with the original and the Mariska Hargitay-led series.)

“We finished it in January. It’s going to be great,” Dean Norris, who plays Elliot’s brother Randall, tells TV Insider. “There’s a lot of family stuff between me and my good buddy Chris Meloni, and I think you guys are going to love it. I’m really excited because it’s on Peacock. We can say the F word. It’s a lot edgier, it’s a lot more intense, and so it’s been kind of freeing in a way, creatively, to be on streaming, on Peacock, instead of on the network.”
