Tuning into a new TV season isn't always straightforward. For example, sometimes a show changes homes after four seasons.

Law & Order: Organized Crime is shifting from NBC to Peacock with season 5, so you'll need a subscription to watch the Christopher Meloni crime drama if you don't already have one. The first episode will air on NBC on Thursday night, in addition to streaming, but other than that, Peacock is the exclusive way to watch.

The series stars Meloni in his Law & Order: SVU role of Elliot Stabler. In this addition to the Law & Order universe, Stabler tackles "New York's most vicious and violent illegal enterprises" as lead detective in the NYPD's Organized Crime Control Bureau, according to an official synopsis. If you want to watch season 5 of Organized Crime, here's everything you need to know.

When to watch Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5

Season 5 has 10 episodes in total. The first two are now on Peacock, and one more installment will drop each Thursday until the finale on June 12. The first episode of season 5 will air on NBC on April 17 at 10 p.m. ET/10 p.m. PT/9 p.m. CT. But you'll need to visit Peacock on Thursdays to watch the rest. Additionally, a two-hour Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order crossover will air on NBC on April 17 at 8 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT/7 p.m. CT, before the Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 premiere.

If you're new to Peacock, you can choose from the $8 per month Premium or $14 per month Premium Plus plans. Premium is ad-supported and doesn't include downloads or your live local NBC station. Premium Plus has those perks and fewer commercials.
