Law & Order: Organized Crime is back. There’s just a major change to be aware of. The series is no long an NBC series but now a Peacock series. You can watch the first two episodes of Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 on Peacock right now.
Yes, the premiere will air on NBC tonight at the previous old time of 10/9c. It comes straight after the Law & Order crossover event, which seems to include Elliot Stabler if my eyes didn’t deceive me with one of those promos! However, it’s the only episode that will air on the linear network — at least for now.
Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 release schedule on Peacock
The second episode is also available on Peacock as we speak. This features Olivia Benson, although there are debates on whether it would include a kiss finally. Look, Law & Order has to end with Stabler and Benson finally getting together! That’s the only way.
After this, episodes will air weekly on the streamer. Peacock tends to release content at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT on the day of release, which is Thursdays for this show.
Take a look at the full schedule:
Thursday, April 17: Episode 1, “Lost Highway”
Thursday, April 17: Episode 2, “Dante’s Inferno”
Thursday, April 24: Episode 3, “Paranza Dei Bambini”
Thursday, May 1: Episode 4, “Promesse Infrante”
Thursday, May 8: Episode 5, “Lago D'Averno”
Thursday, May 15: Episode 6, “Beautiful Disaster”
Thursday, May 22: Episode 7, “Fail Safe”
Thursday, May 29: Episode 8, “Off the Books”
Thursday, June 5: Episode 9, “Against the World”
Thursday, June 12: Episode 10, “He Was a Stabler”
When is the Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 finale?
There are just 10 episodes to the season. While that may seem like a short season, it is about normal for a streaming series. This helps to reduce the costs of production while keeping the storyline focused for the whole season. This also matches the first season of the series, which only had 10 episodes as NBC figured out if they had another Law & Order series or not.
The finale will air on Thursday, June 12, which is on the later side for traditional NBC shows. I guess it’s a good thing that it’s an Peacock series now!
Law & Order: Organized Crime airs on Thursdays on Peacock.
