Christopher Meloni is set to write and direct an episode of the fifth season of 'Law & Order: Organized Crime,' which will feature a guest appearance by Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson. This reunion has been highly anticipated by fans, as the characters have a long history and a complex 'will they, won't they' dynamic. Meloni expressed excitement about taking on writing responsibilities, stating, 'It is awesome. But it's responsibility so I don't want to mess it up.' The show will be transitioning from NBC to Peacock, allowing for potentially more graphic storytelling and language. Hargitay confirmed her eagerness to reunite, saying, 'It’s time now for us,' emphasizing the importance of their characters' relationship. The upcoming season is expected to focus not only on crime but also on the familial aspects of Stabler's life, which have been a significant element in previous seasons.
