Law & Order, SVU, Organized Crime: NBC Posts Season Premiere Trailers
Returning on January 18th, NBC released teaser trailers for the respective season premieres of Law & Order, SVU, and Organized Crime.
Earlier this week, we had a chance to check out the official trailer for the January 18th return of executive producer Dick Wolf's "Law & Order" universe to NBC. Between the three series, we're talking about a franchise that has a combined over half-century of seasons under its belt. Let that sink in for a host second. While yesterday was about sending a "universal" message, today sees NBC sharing individual teaser trailers for Sam Waterston-starring flagship series, the Mariska Hargitay-starring "SVU, and the Christopher Meloni-starring "Organized Crime." Along with the teaser trailers, we've also included the overviews for the trio of season openers.

L&O: Organized Crime Becomes a Family Affair
Back in December 2023, we learned that Dean Norris (Breaking Bad, Under the Dome) had been tapped for a major recurring role for a multi-episode arc. Norris' Randall Stabler is Stabler's older brother who left the family when he was young and now is a successful real estate developer – but Randall has a long-standing tension with Elliot resulting from an event involving their father. In addition, initial reporting describes Stabler's other brother, Joe Jr., as being the youngest brother, who spent 15-ish years in the Army before being dishonorably discharged (though he hasn't said exactly why). He now works for a British wine merchant, doing a little of this, a little of that — and there's something about the work that makes him ashamed to come face-to-face with Elliot, his hero. In addition, the spinoff also sees John Shiban (Ozark) taking over as the show's sixth showrunner.
