Christopher Meloni Thanks Fans After 'Law & Order: OC' Cancellation

Christopher Meloni said the series gave him 17 years of work and thanked viewers after NBC ended the drama.

  • On Thursday, April 16, NBC announced the cancellation of Law & Order: Organized Crime after five seasons, with the show's final episode airing on Peacock in June 2025.
  • Christopher Meloni reprised his role as Detective Elliot Stabler in the spin-off after leaving Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2011, where he had played the character for 12 years.
  • In an Instagram video shared Friday, Meloni thanked fans for nearly 17-odd years of support, saying "It was a great ride" and crediting them with giving him "a career that I never dreamed of."
  • Longtime co-star Mariska Hargitay wrote "P4L" in the comments, a reference fans interpreted as "Partners for Life" or "Pals for Life," signaling continued bond between the SVU actors.
  • While SVU has been renewed for its record-breaking 28th season, Meloni is currently attached to Hulu's The Land, leaving uncertain whether he will return to the Law & Order franchise.
