Fans of Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit had to endure many years of him being absent from their TV screens — which is why they celebrated his long-awaited return when Law & Order: Organized Crime premiered in April 2021. Seasons 2 and 3 both premiered in the fall, but Season 4 was slated to return midseason, which meant it was largely unaffected by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Organized Crime Season 3 ended on a sad note: Detective Jamie Whelan (played by Brent Antonello) died as a result of a spinal injury when he took gunfire in the Law & Order: SVU crossover finale. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) was also injured, but it’s not serious. In the final moments, Elliot tells her he’ll be leaving for a while to work on a new case.
