The trailer for season five of Law & Order: Organized Crime shows Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) in the hospital after his car is broadsided. A new teaser for the show reveals one of his visitors as he recuperates: Olivia Benson.
Peacock released a 30-second spot Wednesday showing some of the same shots from the trailer, capped by a quick cut to a blank screen and Benson (Mariska Hargitay) saying “Elliot,” before she’s shown sitting at his bedside. Watch the teaser below.
Hargitay’s appearance on Organized Crime — her 14th crossover from Law & Order: SVU — will come in the second episode of season five, which will stream April 17 on Peacock. (NBC will also show the season premiere on air that night.) Meloni also wrote the episode, marking his first credit as a writer.
Peacock has also released a couple of photos from Hargitay’s guest appearance, including the one atop this story and one where she gathers with Stabler’s organized crime task force boss, Sgt. Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt), and his brother Randall (Dean Norris).

Season five of Organized Crime, its first as a Peacock original, follows Stabler as he goes undercover to track a cross-border smuggling ring. The season will also delve into high-tech domestic terrorism and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler for the injury he did them in Rome.
Rick Gonzalez and Ainsley Seiger also star in the series, and Nicky Torchia and Ellen Burstyn reprise their roles as Stabler’s son Eli and mother Bernadette. Organized Crime comes from Universal Television and Wolf Entertaintment; season five’s executive producers are Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead (episodes 507-510), John Shiban, Mike Slovis, Meloni, Peter Jankowski and Tim Walsh (episode 510).
