'Law & Order: Organized Crime' Canceled, No Season 6
- NBCUniversal confirmed that Law & Order: Organized Crime, starring Christopher Meloni, will not return for a sixth season, concluding the police drama after five seasons.
- Creative turnover plagued the production, with five showrunners cycling through in as many seasons while Season 5 struggled to balance its dual broadcast-streaming identity.
- Unlike the franchise's standard procedural format, the show featured serialized storytelling as Detective Elliot Stabler, played by Meloni, led the Organized Crime Task Force in New York.
- With the cancellation, the Law & Order franchise now consists of its two longest-running series: the 'mothership' Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
- Meloni is set to star in Dan Fogelman's upcoming NFL drama for Hulu, titled The Land, marking his next major television project.
