The "Law & Order" shows are coming to the end of their seasons this June. Here s what we know about the future of "SVU" and "Organized Crime"—and the new spinoff show that will soon be joining them.
Organized Crime will be premiering. Christopher Meloni will star in the new series, reprising his
Special Victims Unit character, Elliot Stabler. The actor revealed on his Instagram page that the highly anticipated show will debut on NBC on April 1.
Organized Crime will follow
SVU in the 10 p.m. EST timeslot on Thursdays. Crossovers between the two shows have been confirmed, and a reunion between Mariska Hargitay s Olivia Benson and her old partner will happen sooner rather than later. The former partners dubbed Bensler by viewers haven t been on screen together since 2011. The duo amassed quite the fandom over the years, with many people disappointed a romance never blossomed between the two. Whether a relationship could happen now that Stabler is back in New York City remains to be seen.
