A one-time airing of the season premiere will air on NBC on Thursday, April 17 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, with all-new episodes released weekly on Peacock.

Reprising the role he originated on “Law & Order: SVU,” the spinoff stars Christopher Meloni stars as Det. Elliot Stabler, who has returned to New York after a decade abroad to rebuild his life following a devastating personal loss. As lead detective in Sgt. Ayanna Bell’s (Danielle Moné Truitt) Organized Crime Control Bureau, he works to dismantle New York’s most vicious and violent illegal enterprises while fending off dangers that often follow him home.
In Season 5, the show explores the dangerous worlds of cross-border smuggling, high-tech domestic terrorism, and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler for the injury he inflicted in Rome. As his worlds collide, Stabler will put everything on the line to protect the vulnerable and fight for justice. Meanwhile, helping to expose the dark and complex criminal world of their targets are undercover expert Bobby Reyes (Rick Gonzalez) and tech genius Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger). While on assignment, Stabler leans on his brother Randall (Dean Norris) to keep the Stabler family safe and thriving.
Produced for Peacock by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
