The Law & Order [1] universe is expanding again with Law & Order: Organised Crime, a spinoff that's finally bringing back Christopher Meloni's Detective Elliot Stabler [2], last seen leaving Law & Order: Special Victims Unit a decade ago. Meloni is ready to lead a cast of bright new faces and a few familiar TV faves — but he'll also be joined, briefly at least, by another Law & Order character: Mariska Hargitay's Detective Olivia Benson.
Since Hargitay is still busy leading her own show, the old Stabler/Benson partnership [3] won't be at the centre of the new show — so who will be? NBC is keeping character details tightly under wraps, but you can keep reading for a full rundown of who you'll see in the cast when Law & Order: Organised Crime debuts on April 1 [4].
Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler
Meloni is bringing his SVU character back, this time as the full-fledged series lead. In the new series, Stabler is back to lead a new task force battling organised crime following a devastating personal loss.
Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson
Although Hargitay's Detective Benson is busy leading SVU, she's making some time to cross over to her old partner's new show. No word yet on how frequently Benson will appear on the new series.
Dylan McDermott
McDermott has been acting for over 30 years, and he never seems to stop! He's spent a good portion of the past decade collaborating on TV shows with Ryan Murphy: he appeared on several seasons of American Horror Story [5], has a role on The Politician, and most recently earned an Emmy nomination for his role in the miniseries Hollywood.
Tamara Taylor
Organised Crime won't be Taylor's first time in a crime procedural: she played Dr. Camille Saroyan on Bones from 2006 to 2017. More recently, she's been spending some time in the world of sci-fi TV. She had a recurring role on Altered Carbon in 2018, and she played the villainous Sibyl on the final season of Agents of SHIELD.
Danielle Moné Truitt
We have yet to learn about Truitt's Law & Order: Organised Crime character, but we do know the actor has extensive TV experience. She played the title character in BET's short-lived series Rebel and was a regular on the Fox drama Deputy.
Charlotte Sullivan
Sullivan's resume is pretty lengthy, with credits ranging from Smallville to The Kennedys and more. Her biggest role to date was as Gail Peck on the cop drama Rookie Blue from 2010 to 2015. More recently, she's been spending time working in her native canada on several different shows, mostly crime procedurals.
Jaylin Fletcher
You most likely recognise Fletcher from the post-apocalyptic drama Snowpiercer, where he plays Miles. He's also set to co-star in the upcoming Netflix thriller Clickbait.
Nick Creegan
Creegan, like some of his castmates, is something of a newcomer to the big-name TV world. His only major credit so far is as Desmond in the OWN series David Makes Man.
Ben Chase
Chase has been popping up in smaller roles over the last few years. His biggest project prior to joining the Law & Order universe was as Max Berquist in the Anne Hathaway [6]/Ben Affleck [7] movie The Last Thing He Wanted.
