Created by John Shiban and John Orloff, Apple TV+’s war drama miniseries Masters of the Air, starring Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Anthony Boyle, received positive to mixed reviews from critics and audiences upon release. Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, the story follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group during WWII.

Critics at the time shared that Masters of the Air is ‘an absolutely fantastic television’ that goes on to depict the experience of pilots during World War II. Even though it received a positive to mixed response, audiences were concerned about the accuracy of the story and noted that the story had omitted a lot of parts from the actual story of the 100th. However, it’s Austin Butler’s experience that can change anyone’s mind about whether to re-watch the show or not.

“Law & Order: Organized Crime” will be the first “Law & Order” series to stream exclusively on Peacock — but it will also debut on NBC.

Last May, it was revealed that the Dick Wolf spinoff, led by Christopher Meloni, would become a “Peacock original,” moving to the streaming service exclusively for Season 5. On Tuesday, NBCUniversal announced that in addition to streaming, the Season 5 premiere will also air on NBC at 10 p.m. Et.

The debut will follow a crossover between “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Svu,” airing from 8-10 p.m. Per the official logline, “A mysterious phone call to Capt. Benson of the Svu leads detectives to the scene of a brutal murder. When the Svu and the 2-7 uncover a pattern of rape and murder targeting marginalized women, Carisi and Ada Price team up to charge the suspect with multiple crimes.”

The Law & Order universe will officially expand to streaming in April.

Peacock has set an April 17 premiere date for season five of Law & Order: Organized Crime, its first since moving from NBC following the end of season four. Two episodes will stream that day, with the remainder of the 10-episode season rolling out weekly.

Organized Crime is the first Law & Order show to air somewhere other than NBC since Criminal Intent moved to USA Network in 2007.

Along with the premiere date, Peacock released a brief teaser (watch it below) and several photos from the coming season. The logline reads, “Season five explores the dangerous worlds of cross-border smuggling, high-tech domestic terrorism and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler (Christopher Meloni) for the injury he did them in Rome. As his worlds collide, Stabler will put everything on the line to protect the vulnerable and fight for justice.

The series follows Christopher Meloni as Det. Elliot Stabler, now running the Organized Crime Control Bureau. Danielle Moné Truitt, Danielle Moné Truitt, Rick Gonzalez, Olivia Thirlby and Ainsley Seiger also star. Dean Norris joined the series in Season 4 as Stabler’s brother.

Dean Norris had a reason for stepping into Law & Order: Organized Crime, and no, it wasn’t just for the badge. The Breaking Bad alum, best known as Hank Schrader, brought his signature tough-guy presence to the franchise, but there was a hidden connection fans didn’t see coming.

While most assumed it was all about crime and justice, there was a deeper link — a Breaking Bad thread woven into the Law & Order universe.

From Breaking Bad to Organized Crime: The real reason Dean Norris signed on Dean Noriss in Law & Order: Organized Crime | Credits: Universal Television

Dean Norris didn’t just join Law & Order: Organized Crime for the badge. Sure, working alongside Christopher Meloni was a draw, but there was another reason – one straight out of Breaking Bad.

The show’s latest season took a...

"The X-Files" was a series that had what is perhaps the platonic ideal of a structure for a scripted TV show. By alternating episodes involving a "Monster-of-the-week" and shows dealing with the series' overarching mythology of conspiracies and extraterrestrial activity, the series managed to be both an Ez-on, Ez-off episodic procedural, a genre anthology show, and a serialized saga that rewarded constant viewing. Thus, longtime fans could feel their investment paying off while new fans could jump on board at just about any point during the show's original 9-season run.

The only detriment to this near-perfect setup is the fact that it invited the possibility of as many low points as it did high ones. While certain sections of the fandom have their general preferences for which overall seasons were best and which weren't, even the most adoring fan of "The X-Files" will admit its propensity to be uneven, with...

Saul Goodman is perhaps one of (if not the most) compelling characters in the world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The idea of a prequel series to one of the most critically acclaimed and iconic television shows of all time sounds like a horrible concept on paper. Still, in practice, co-creator Peter Gould's spin-off series Better Call Saul ended up being just as impressively written and acted as the legendary show that preceded it. However, if one television executive had his way, Saul Goodman might have never come into existence.

Entertainment Weekly received an exclusive excerpt from Saul Goodman v. Jimmy McGill, a new book written by TV critic Alan Sepinwall, that offers a comprehensive deep dive into the making of this hit prequel series. In a section of the book, it's revealed that Gould was reluctant when first writing the character's debut in Breaking Bad, and...

Things are still in the dark for fans of one of the newest additions to the Law & Order franchise. Law & Order: Organized Crime's Season 5 has still yet to have a premiere date announced. It was announced last year that the show would move to airing exclusively on Peacock, rather than airing on NBC's network and next day stream to Peacock like the other Law & Order shows. The move has seemingly left the show in a liminal space, with no premiere date to be seen for the fall or midseason premiere dates for NBC or Peacock. The show also lost its fifth showrunner, with John Shiban departing back in November.

We may be living in the golden age of television series, from jaw-dropping adaptations, revenge-fueled fantasies, gonzo thrillers, witty comedies, and dramedies, and the return of spectacular “dad” shows that set the gold standard in television programming.

The Other Law and Order Shows Are Now On Hiatus

Law & Order and its spinoff Law & Order: Svu have already kicked off their fall seasons and are now on a winter break. But fans are still eagerly awaiting the arrival of Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5.

Back in May, it was revealed that this Christopher Meloni-led series would make the switch from NBC to NBCUniversal’s streaming service, Peacock, after four successful seasons.

Although this upcoming season will consist of just 10 episodes rather than the typical 22, viewers can expect longer episodes that will exceed the usual 42-minute runtime.

If you order the no commercials version of Peacock,...

Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 must accomplish several changes to fix serious problems that are making the series more difficult to enjoy. The Christopher Meloni-led spinoff of Law & Order: Svu originally focused on Meloni's Elliot Stabler returning to New York and joining the Organized Crime Bureau so he could solve the murder of his wife. Since then, there have been frequent Law & Order: Organized Crime showrunner changes, leading to the series repeatedly reinventing itself.

Although Stabler is a big draw, Organized Crime has long struggled to achieve the large, passionate audience that the other shows in the franchise enjoy. Organized Crime season 5 will air on Peacock, which is meant to solve that problem. However, it is difficult to tell whether the move to Peacock will work, given continued production shake-ups and the lack of a confirmed release date halfway through the 2024-25 television season. Truly,...

Law & Order: Organized Crime premiered in April 2021 with the highly anticipated return of Christopher Meloni’s Detective Elliot Stabler, but a big change before season 5 puts the future of the show in question. The former partner of Olivia Benson during the first twelve seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit returned to New York to investigate the murder of his wife as he joined the Organized Crime task force. The series also explores Stabler’s relationship with his family, including his mother and children.

Organized Crime sets itself apart from other Law & Order shows, including the original and Svu, by focusing more on Stabler’s personal life. The multi-episode cases also give the series the cinematic feel of an action crime drama epic. Law & Order: Organized Crime will return for season 5, but this time on Peacock due to low ratings on NBC last season but stronger viewership on streaming.

Peacock is extending (and ending) the Fresh Prince’s reign, renewing Bel-Air for a fourth and final season.

Law And Order Organized Crime Spoilers: Who’s Leaving?

A report from TV Line dated November 25 reveals that showrunner John Shiban departed from the series during the production of Season 5. He joined Law & Order: Organized Crime in October 2023. Shiban marks the sixth showrunner to exit the series.

While a successor has yet to be named, TV Line mentions that Matt Olmstead, the showrunner of FBI: International and the original showrunner for Organized Crime, is stepping in. Olmstead will help to complete the filming of the remaining episodes of Season 5.

Christopher Meloni and new guest star Olivia Thirlby filmed a very intense Law & Order: Organized Crime scene!

While on location in Queens, New York on Wednesday (November 27), the 63-year-old actor was seen freeing the 38-year-old actress from some sort of explosive-looking chair device with hooded NYPD figures surrounding her as well. Olivia joined the series as a recurring guest star this season.

It’s been a busy news week for the Law and Order spinoff series, as we just learned that showrunner John Shiban has exited the series and original showrunner Matt Olmstead stepped in to help with the final few episodes of the season.

A premiere date for season five has not yet been announced, but we know it will consist of 10 episodes, and will debut on Peacock instead of NBC. John was the sixth showrunner to leave Organized Crime. He was appointed as showrunner ahead of season four.

The ambitious spinoff Law & Order: Organized Crime has changed the face of the TV franchise across its first four seasons, and season 5 is on the way with one major change. Premiering in 2021, the series follows Detective Elliot Stabler as he joins the elite Organized Crime division of the NYPD to bring down international criminals who operate in the city. Unlike previous series in the franchise, Organized Crime utilizes a serialized story structure that follows an arc across an entire season and more. On top of that, the series also puts the focus exclusively on Detective Stabler and explores his internal struggles.

Like every Dick Wolf TV show produced for NBC, Organized Crime proved to be an instant hit and added some much-needed narrative diversity to the franchise that had been carried by Special Victims Unit for the better part of a decade. Not long after the debut of Organized Crime,...

The popular drama “Law & Order: Organized Crime” enters its fifth season, navigating another key leadership shift and preparing for a major network changeover.

The series, featuring Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler, is filming its ten-episode season. John Shiban has stepped down as showrunner, marking the show’s sixth leadership change since its premiere in 2021. The original showrunner, Matt Olmstead, has stepped in to provide stability during this shift.

The series’ relocation from NBC to Peacock is the most noticeable shift, which may provide fresh storytelling chances. Despite these limitations, the show stays devoted to its character-driven narrative approach.

Fans can expect Christopher Meloni to reprise his role as Stabler. At the same time, actress Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio will delve into the detective’s history. Most scripts for the season have already been completed, and production has begun following a brief hiatus.

Industry analysts note that the frequent showrunner...

Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 continues to progress despite the exit of its most recent showrunner. The Law & Order: Svu spinoff, starring Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler, follows the veteran cop's return to the NYPD as part of the Organized Crime Task Force. The series is known for its darker, serialized storytelling, distinguishing itself from the broader Law & Order franchise. While the show has undergone several showrunner changes since its 2021 debut, Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 is being developed for Peacock, marking a transition from its previous home on NBC.

According to Deadline, production on Law & Order: Organized Crime's fifth season is halfway complete, though the series currently lacks a showrunner. Recent seasons have been led by a string of showrunners such as Barry OBrien and Sean Jablonski, with David Graziano overseeing various episodes. Most recently, Ozark veteran John Shiban guided the show through its fourth season.

The NBC series Law & Order: Organized Crime is in the middle of a shakeup as the show nears the end of production for season five.

TVLine is reporting that the show has lost a very important team member and a replacement still has not been named.

Issues behind the scenes continue to plague Law & Order: Organized Crime. While the series is moving on following its move to streaming from broadcast television, another creative shakeup is happening with the show.

Per Deadline, it's been revealed that series showrunner John Shiban is departing Law & Order: Organized Crime. This will mark yet another showrunner to leave the series over the past four years of the show's production. Production was reportedly paused on Season 5 when Shiban exited the production earlier this month, though the news hadn't been made public up to this point.

Law & Order: Organized Crime has lost yet another showrunner. John Shiban, who had been tapped to helm the fourth season of the NBC spin-off series after the WGA strike, is now the fifth showrunner to depart the series since it began development. Currently, nobody has been named to take his place when Season 5 picks up on Peacock, though the series will welcome back original helmer Matt Olmstead as an executive producer to help with the remaining scripts. Production was briefly paused as sources say Shiban stepped down last month, but now cameras are rolling again. According to Deadline, production is about halfway through its 10-episode order and most of the scripts are complete.

In a Law & Order: Organized Crime shake-up, John Shiban has become the fifth showrunner to leave the series over the past four years. According to sources, his exit happened earlier this month, leading to a production pause. The Wolf Entertainment/Universal TV drama, which is moving to Peacock for its upcoming fifth season, is now back filming, with its original showrunner, Matt Olmstead, stepping in as executive producer. He remains executive producer/showrunner on another Wolf Entertainment/Utv drama, CBS’ FBI: International.

No new showrunner of Organized Crime has been named. Olmstead has been drafted back to help with the remaining scripts. Most Season 5 scripts have been written, with production on the 10-episode installment about halfway through, I hear.

Nowadays, it is not too uncommon for popular TV programs to inspire spinoff shows. These new series, though they do have self-contained stories of their own, typically feature characters or settings that appeared in the previous shows that inspired them. What is rarer, however, is when the spinoff manages to maintain the same level of quality as the original. Far too often, TV networks merely try to capitalize on the preexisting popularity of a character or setting, and fail to deliver entertaining stories of their own.

Fortunately, some of the best spinoffs do manage to knock it out of the park, using preexisting characters but still managing to create inventive new storylines that captivate their viewers in new, exciting ways. These shows not only stand out as excellent programs on their own, but even manage to attract new viewers to the original series as well. While there will always be...

Olivia Thirlby has joined the cast of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” Season 5, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

Thirlby will appear in a recurring role in the new season of the series, though exact details of her character are being kept under wraps. It was previously announced that “Law & Order: Organized Crime” would be moving from NBC to Peacock for its fifth season.

Reps for NBCUniversal declined to comment.

Thirlby has primarily worked in film during her career, recently starring in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning feature “Oppenheimer” in the role of Dr. Lilli Hornig. She has also starred in films like “Dumb Money,” “The Stanford Prison Experiment,” “Dredd,” “The Wackness,” and “Juno.” In television, she most recently starred in the FX series adaptation of “Y: The Last Man” and is known for other shows such as “Goliath,” “The L Word: Generation Q,” and “Bored to Death.”

In a show, that revolves around supernatural elements, character deaths are almost certain, and CW’s Supernatural was no different. Amidst many memorable send-offs to its beloved characters, one death that shook fans was Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s John Winchester, father of Jensle Ackles Dean Winchester.

But it wasn’t the death itself that had fans divided, as the writers’ decision to kill him off at the beginning of season 2 didn’t sit well with everyone, and writer John Shiban later clarified why they swung that way.

Touching on John’s death in the first episode of season 2, John Shiban addressed that the decision stemmed from the difficulty of handling two parallel storylines. With the boys still in search of their dad, the writer added it became difficult...

After a life of crime that resulted in Breaking Bad's Jimmy McGill (aka Saul Goodman) going on the run, the former attorney wound up managing a Cinnabon in Omaha using the alias "Gene." However, the tasty pastry retailer was not the original choice for where Saul would end up with his new identity.

On social media, Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould shared an image from an early draft of the script for the penultimate episode of Breaking Bad. This was the episode that established that Saul (Bob Odenkirk) would be managing a Cinnabon after getting a new identity from the "Disappearer" (Robert Forster). The early draft of the script reveals that Saul's dialogue was altered slightly, as he was originally written to tell Walter White (Bryan Cranston) that he would be "managing a Hot Topic in Omaha."

The Fall TV season finally feels like it's back to normal. Many popular drama and comedy series have released new seasons over the past few weeks, with more shows premiering soon. But fans of Law and Order: Organized Crime aren't so lucky this October because the show is not joining the primetime line-up on NBC.

Law and Order: Organized Crime has been renewed for a fifth season, but the popular drama series now has a new home. NBC has revealed that the show will exclusively be airing on Peacock. And while we know that 10 new episodes will be coming, we don't yet have a premiere date for them.

The season 4 finale ended with a major explosive cliffhanger when the "youngest of the Stabler brothers found himself with a briefcase full of a deadly Russian nerve agent handcuffed to his wrist."

We saw him as he set out on the "private...

Exclusive: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio is set to recur in the Peacock series Law & Order: Organized Crime for Season 5 as Isabella Spezzano, a figure from Stabler’s (Meloni) past.

Law & Order: Organized Crime follows the detectives of the Organized Crime Control Bureau as they take on New York City’s most vicious and violent criminal syndicates. In addition to Meloni, Danielle Moné Truitt and Ainsley Seiger also star.

The show was renewed for a fifth season in April following the announcement the procedural would move from NBC to its streamer Peacock. The move gives Peacock an original Dick Wolf drama series to go with the Wolf Entertainment library and next-day runs of the company’s remaining NBC series Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, Law & Order and Law & Order: Svu, which are among the platform’s most viewed titles.

When “The X-Files” premiered on Sept. 10, 1993 on Fox, viewers had no idea how incredibly bizarre the cases tackled by FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) would be.

Anything that was deemed paranormal, supernatural or unexplainable was called an “X-File” — the cases that no one else in the agency wanted to touch.

In the show’s 11 seasons, they dealt with more than just aliens and shadowy government conspiracies. Their cases involved demons, ghosts, serial killers, sea monsters and even vampires. Here are the episodes with the scariest villains and killer creatures.

Season 4, Written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, directed by Kim Manners

Perhaps this disturbing episode — which was banned for three years after its initial showing — is more creepy and unsettling than scary, but it certainly left an impression on viewers when it debuted in 1996. Mulder and Scully are called in after the...

Season 5 of Law & Order: Organized Crime is on the way, and Dean Norris, known for his role as Randall Stabler, is about to get a big promotion.

The seventh series in the Law & Order franchise is about to bring Norris character to the forefront with its fifth season. According to the deadline, Norris will be a series regular starting season 5. Previously, Randall Stabler was just a recurring one, appearing in just nine of the previous 13-episode season. Now that Randall has patched things up with his brother and series protagonist Elliot (Chis Meloni), he should make several more appearances. Norris is arguably best known for his role as Hank Sharader on Breaking Bad. Some of his other acting credits include United States of Al, Claws, Better Call Saul, and even The Big Bang Theory.

Some TV finales are epic in a good way. They deliver a jaw-dropping twist that leaves fans shocked but satisfied. Others, on the other hand, may go too far, either undoing the story arc or completely ruining the entire show. Dramatic TV finales don't always turn out so well.

Like Game of Thrones, some series over-deliver the shock effect and either anger or traumatize fans for life. Other series, like Lost, seem to have gotten lost on the way to a resolution. Sometimes, a show's finale lands on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.
