Law & Order: Organized Crime Canceled

Elliot Stabler is back off the case. Law & Order: Organized Crime - the NBC-turned-Peacock spinoff of SVU that brought Christopher Meloni's beloved SVU character back to the Law & Order Franchise -  has been canceled after five seasons. The news comes just under a year after it debuted its first and only Peacock-exclusive season. The series had moved to Peacock following a four-season run on Thursdays at 10 on NBC. That fifth season later aired in part on Thursdays at 10, pushing The Hunting Party back to midseason after initially being on the fall schedule. NBC and Peacock had kept mum on Organized Crime's fate since then, before confirming its cancellation today. Organized Crime notably got off to a very strong start back in 2021, but faded as the seasons went on - never becoming a flop, but not being standout, either. Its most recent season averaged 0.17 in the key demo during its second-window run on NBC, ahead of The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, but behind every other NBC series this season. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
