As Law And Order: Organized Crime Star Reveals First Day Back For Season 5, I Love Christopher Meloni’s Pitch For Stabler’s Personal Life

Is it too soon to start the Season 5 countdown?

Law & Order: Organized Crime fans would normally be able to count on Elliot Stabler, Ayanna Bell, and the rest of the team returning to NBC’s Law & Order Thursdays alongside SVU and the original series. This time around, however, Organized Crime is switching to streaming for Season 5 to become an original for Peacock Premium subscribers. Now, one star has confirmed that her work has begun on the new season, and that makes me think back on what Christopher Meloni suggested to CinemaBlend earlier in the 2024 TV schedule.

Danielle Moné Truitt Drops Good News For Fans

Details were relatively scarce about Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 over the majority of the summer, to the point that Christopher Meloni and showrunner John Shiban were the only big names confirmed to be making the jump from NBC to Peacock. Fortunately, Danielle Moné Truitt – a.k.a. Sergeant Ayanna Bell – took to Instagram to share a photo and caption that could prompt viewers to breathe a sigh of relief:

Was there ever much doubt that Danielle Moné Truitt would be back as Bell in the fifth season? Maybe not, but the confirmation that she’s back at work on Organized Crime is worth celebrating. After how the actress spoke about the “messiness” at the beginning of Season 4, it’s hard to imagine the task force without Bell.

Rick Gonzalez, who plays Detective Bobby Reyes, dropped an “😂” emoji in Truitt’s comment section, so I think we can take that as good news for his character as well. There are still more questions than answers about Season 5, and it was a bit of a bummer to get a promo for Law & Order Thursdays without Organized Crime, but cast members getting back to work gives hope that the show will return before the end of 2024.

For his part, Christopher Meloni has not yet posted about production beginning at the time of writing, but he did share some entertaining ideas with CinemaBlend earlier this summer.

What Christopher Meloni Told Us

While the SVU-turned-Organized Crime star didn’t get back to work in NYC as early as Mariska Hargitay and Ice-T did for their NBC returns in early October, Meloni had a different project over the summer: the Catch A Cat Burglar: Purry Duty podcast. He explained to CinemaBlend what made him want to join the Temptations podcast, shortly after he returned from the Olympics and SVU fan encounters in Paris.
