A member of the Law & Order: Organized Crime crew was shot and killed while on the show's New York City set. One of three current Law & Order shows on NBC, Law & Order: Organized Crime follows former Special Victims Unit officer Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) as he works as part of a specialized organized crime task force. The show first aired in 2021 and concluded its second season in May of this year.
NBC has since renewed Law & Order: Organized Crime for a third season, which is scheduled to premiere on NBC later this fall. In addition to Meloni, the show also stars Danielle Moné Truitt, Tamara Taylor, Ainsley Seigor, Dylan McDermott, and Nona Parker-Johnson. As important as Law & Order: Organized Crimes' stars is the show's New York City backdrop. The series is filmed on-location in the city, with scenes shot around Queens, Brooklyn, and other well-known locations. Law & Order: Organized Crime is set to crossover with Law & Order: SVU and the main Law & Order series later this year in a special episode.
