The news hit last May that NBC's Christopher Meloni (Elliot Stabler)-starring Law & Order: Organized Crime would be back for a fifth season – and that when it does, it will be on Peacock and have John Shiban at the helm as showrunner. Well, we're not sure if you know of the spinoff series' history when it comes to showrunners but – they go through a lot of them. As in, there have been more showrunners than seasons so far. In October, we learned that Shiban had parted ways with the NBC series – reportedly resulting in a pause in the production. Now, with original showrunner Matt Olmstead taking on the role of executive producer, filming has been back underway – and Deadline Hollywood has some casting news to pass along that should get fans excited. Jason Patric (FOX's Wayward Pines) is set for a recurring role in the fifth season (expected to premiere on the streaming service later this year) as Detective Tim McKenna – though no additional details were released.
