Fans of Law & Order: Organized Crime have been waiting since back in June of the 2025 TV schedule to learn if Christopher Meloni's SVU spinoff will be renewed for Season 6, following its first season as a streaming original for those with a Peacock subscription. Well, OC is coming back to TV soon... sort of. The drama will return to its former 10 p.m. ET time slot on NBC, but not for a sixth season. Starting this fall, the network will air the fifth season that is already available streaming.
While I have no complaints about an excuse to watch the episodes again, I do have questions about how NBC will handle the F-bombs and increased violence that could fly on Peacock. Now, I won't drop any spoilers about the season beyond that there were times that it felt like a totally different show and the ways that the series felt more realistic in Season 5, but the big news reminded me of what star Rick Gonzalez told CinemaBlend about getting to swear.
