Elliot Stabler is back. NBC has set a premiere date for its high-profile new Dick Wolf series Law & Order: Organized Crime, which features the return of Christopher Meloni as the NYPD detective he played for years in Law & Order: SVU. And he will be reunited with Olivia Benson as the series debuts April 1 as part of a two-hour crossover with SVU.
The crossover starts with Law & Order: SVU at 9 p.m., followed by Organized Crime at 10 p.m. It marks the reunion of Meloni’s Stabler with Mariska Hargitay’s now-Captain Benson after they starred together on the first 12 seasons of SVU from 1999-2011. Stabler abruptly retired from the force, off-camera- in the Season 13 premiere.
NBC today also set the Season 4 premiere date for Good Girls for 10 p.m. Sunday, March 7, and the Season 3 bow of Manifest for 8 p.m. Thursday, April 1). Elsewhere, sophomore musical dramedy Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, starring newly minted Golden Globe nominee Jane Levy, will go on hiatus after Tuesday’s episode and return on a new day and time: 9 p.m. Sundays, starting March 28.
