A new teaser for Law & Order: Organized Crime offers a look at the iconic Law & Order character Donald Cragen's return to the series. The universe of the Law & Order franchise frequently features characters and events that cross over from one show to another. This started with the debut of the first spinoff, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which was so popular it has ended up outlasting the run of the original show by many seasons and is still on the air. Many of Law & Order's most popular characters come from the SVU lineup, including Christopher Meloni's Elliot Stabler. Meloni left the series after season 12 in 2011, but recently reprised the role in Organized Crime, which sees Stabler rejoining the NYPD following the murder of his wife.
After the premiere of Organized Crime in April 2021, the series began to cross over more and more with SVU in order to reunite Stabler with his longtime partner, Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay). This also led the Organized Crime crew to interacting with the other characters from SVU, including Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino) and Christian Garland (Demore Barnes). Season 2 of Organized Crime, which began airing in September 2021 and is currently running, pulled out all the stops, bringing in even more well-known characters like Rafael Barba (Raúl Esparza), Stabler's mother Bernie (Ellen Burstyn), and Finn Tutuola (Ice-T).
