For those who ardently follow Law & Order: Organized Crime, since last June of the 2025 television timetable, they’ve been in suspense about the potential sixth season featuring Christopher Meloni’s SVU iteration. Now the drama is gearing up to reappear on the small screen, albeit not exactly in the awaited way. The series is going to slide back into its old 10 p.m. ET time slot on NBC’s lineup, albeit not for the speculated sixth season. Instead, this autumn will feature a re-run of the already aired fifth season.
While some viewers might find it pleasurable to revisit the episodes, there are lingering queries about aspects such as the handling of the language and the elevated aggressiveness. The release of NBC’s Autumn 2025 lineup didn’t pack many bombshells, with staples like One Chicago keeping its regular slot on Wednesdays, The Voice securing the Monday and Tuesday slots, and the double deal of Law & Order/Law & Order: SVU resurrecting Thursdays.
What came as stunning news was the inclusion of Law & Order: Organized Crime in its guardedly remembered timing of 10 p.m. ET on Thursday nights, coming just after SVU’s 9 p.m. spot. Season five is readying for another run on the network television platform. As per sources, the fifth installment didn’t lean as heavily on grim themes as anticipated, which bestows it with a chance to slot into the 10 p.m. ET primetime slot and possibly bait a fresh viewer base.
Despite the relatively lighter tone, moments occasionally arose that tested the boundaries, especially in terms of language, which hadn’t previously been seen when Organized Crime was regular network programming included the use of profanity. Those familiar with the practices of broadcast television or basic cable wouldn’t find it unusual to see explicit language blanked out or replaced seamlessly.
There are specific memorable instances where the dialogue had been reworded, instances that felt a little offbeat. In an attempt to match the intensity of the dialogues from Law & Order: Organized Crime from its network run, would it be reasonable to lay the blame on Gonzalez for showing enthusiasm in moving towards another verbiage? Yet, the question persists – would NBC implement a similar overhaul like they did when the first show of Season 5 premiered?
Could we expect the explicit words to be rendered mute, leaving an audibly discernible gap in the dialogue? Whether you’re revisiting the episodes or tuning in for the first time, buckle up for a full run of Season 5 of Law & Order: Organized Crime. The action kicks off on Thursday, September 25, at 10 p.m. ET, closely following the Season 27 inaugural show of Law & Order: SVU at 9 p.m. ET and the Season 25 opener of the classic Law & Order series at 8 p.m. ET.
