Christopher Meloni on Return to Law & Order and “Inherent Drama” Between Benson and Stabler

Meloni went on to appear in True Blood, Veep, Pose, Happy, Man of Steel, Wet Hot American Summer, The Handmaid’s Tale and the upcoming Hulu series MAXX.

When viewers see Meloni as Stabler in Law & Order: Organized Crime, the character will return to the NYPD to battle organized crime “after a devastating personal loss.” The show description doesn’t explicitly say it will tackle the current state of the world after the death of George Floyd and the worldwide protests against police brutality, but NBC noted “the city and police department have changed dramatically in the decade he’s been away, and he must adapt to a criminal justice system in the midst of its own moment of reckoning.”
