Stabler’s Next Injury on Law & Order Could Be Deadly

BBG News

The fifth season of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” is all set to premiere on April 17, 2025, marking a year since the conclusion of its fourth season. Interestingly, this will no longer be airing on NBC as it has moved to streaming platforms, exclusively for viewers with Peacock subscriptions. It appears that streaming provides more freedom to explore certain themes and storylines that might not be feasible in network television.

Dean Norris, a regular cast member in the new series, discussed with TopMob the transition from NBC to Peacock and hinted that the incident leading Elliot to the hospital, as shown in a trailer, might be more serious than initially thought. The actor who portrays Elliot’s older brother Randall on “Breaking Bad” revealed this information.

Reframing the thought: Moving to Peacock and its expansive streaming platform seems to have provided us with greater creative freedom. The content appears more daring, somewhat rawer. The depiction of violence feels more authentic. Our characters’ complexities, particularly their relationships, are given room to unfold more profoundly, as the narrative spans an entire arc across ten episodes. It carries a cinematic quality, allowing the show to feel less constricted and more immersive. I believe this freedom was skillfully utilized by our writers, resulting in a truly remarkable season.

It’s uncertain if moving to Peacock will result in the use of profanity (though it seems possible that Carisi might swear on Organized Crime) or an increase in graphic violence, but a grittier and more realistic portrayal could lead to Stabler’s upcoming injury causing greater harm than previous incidents.

The detective, who excelled at pushing through pain and swiftly recovering from injuries on NBC, appears to have experienced a severe car accident based on Mariska Hargitay’s guest role in Organized Crime. It seems Stabler, no longer as youthful as he was during his days on SVU, might face challenges with future recoveries from injuries if we are to watch him on Peacock.

On the show’s exterior, we can merely observe and anticipate, but it’s uncertain if Dean Norris’ character will be deeply entwined in the series’ violent events. Given that he was an NYPD man who managed to stay clear of the department, this seems plausible. In fact, most of his appearances in Season 4 were dedicated either to intervening on Joe Jr.’s behalf or adapting to the changing circumstances of his ailing mother, whose memory is fading.

As a movie enthusiast, I was thrilled to hear Dean Norris reveal that the intriguing bond between our characters will be further explored in Season 5. It’s intriguing to consider if this narrative shift towards realism is indeed the path the show has chosen. The actor’s praise for Ellen Burstyn’s portrayal of Bernie Stabler echoes my own feelings, as it aligns perfectly with what his on-screen sibling said about collaborating with a legend like Linda Blair from “The Exorcist.” In our conversation, Norris shared:

One fantastic aspect of participating in this show is the opportunity it offers to connect with her and share the stage with such an iconic figure. She’s truly remarkable, and I relish each day I spend at work alongside Ellen. It makes for a wonderful day, indeed, and I learn so much from her simply by being on set together. I’m really looking forward to it, especially during this season, as we have more opportunities to collaborate.

As a seasoned movie critic, I must admit that seeing Dean Norris, a veteran actor with decades of experience under his belt, praise the talents of Ellen Burstyn is truly noteworthy. Burstyn, after all, possesses an unique achievement within the acting world: an Emmy award for her exceptional guest role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2009 – a feat not many stars can claim. Her continuous growth and impact on the industry is undeniable.

The next episode airs after a long-awaited crossover between Law & Order and SVU, which takes place on April 17th. One actor from Law & Order has expressed excitement about Mariska Hargitay’s performance in this installment. Previews suggest that Christopher Meloni might revisit his old SVU setting to interrogate a suspect, but viewers will need to tune into NBC at 8 p.m. ET to discover the truth.
