Law & Order Crossover Set For April; Organized Crime Season 5 Premiere To Air On NBC

The next Law & Order crossover is set: NBC announced Tuesday that characters from Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU will cross paths during a two-hour event airing Thursday, April 17 at 8/7c.

"Over the course of the crossover, a mysterious phone call to Capt. Benson of the SVU leads detectives to the scene of a brutal murder," according to the official logline. "When the SVU and the 2-7 uncover a pattern of rape and murder targeting marginalized women, Carisi and ADA Price team up to charge the suspect with multiple crimes."

That same night, the first episode of Peacock-bound Law & Order: Organized Crime will air on NBC (at 10 pm). All subsequent Season 5 episodes — including a second episode dropping that same day — will be exclusive to Peacock.

As a result of Organized Crime's NBC showcase, Found that week will air on a special night — Monday, April 14 at 10 pm. It will then return to its usual Thursdays-at-10 time slot on April 24.

All told, the rollout looks like this:

MONDAY, APRIL 14
10 pm Found (new episode, special night)

THURSDAY, APRIL 17
8 pm Law & Order (Crossover, Part 1 of 2)
9 pm Law & Order: SVU (Crossover, Part 2 of 2)
