About The “Law & Order” premiere crossover event
The special event will, for the first time ever, feature a storyline across all three current “Law & Order” shows, the original “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime.” The three-hour block will start with “Organized Crime,” continue with “SVU” and conclude with “Law & Order.”
In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney’s office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place.
The plot of the crossover will feature a young girl who is murdered, with old partners Stabler (Chris Meloni, now of “Organized Crime”) and “SVU’s” Benson (Mariska Hargitay) teaming up to work the case. Eventually, the lawyers, led by series veteran Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) bring the case to court.
“I’d like to combine forces, work this case together,” Benson says in a promo for the crossover, one that also indicates that the case will take some twists and turns over the course of the three hours. It ends with the tagline, “for the first time ever: three squads, one case.”
