Tuning into a new TV season isn’t always straightforward — for example, sometimes a show changes homes after four seasons.
Law & Order: Organized Crime is shifting from NBC to Peacock with season 5, so you’ll need a subscription to watch the Christopher Meloni crime drama if you don’t already have one. The first episode will air on NBC on Thursday, in addition to streaming — but other than that, Peacock is the exclusive way to watch.
The series stars Meloni in his Law & Order: SVU role of Elliot Stabler. In this addition to the Law & Order universe, Stabler tackles “New York’s most vicious and violent illegal enterprises” as lead detective in the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau, according to an official synopsis. Season 5 of Organized Crime premieres shortly — if you want to watch, here’s everything you need to know.

The first episode of season 5 will air on NBC on April 17 at 10 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT/9 p.m. CT. But you’ll need to tune in to Peacock on Thursdays to watch the rest.

If you’re new to Peacock, you can choose from $8-per-month Premium and $14-per-month Premium Plus plans. Premium is ad-supported and doesn’t include downloads or your live local NBC station. Premium Plus has those perks and fewer commercials.
