They're breaking up that old NBC Thursday night gang of ours. NBC has confirmed it's not bringing back "Law & Order: Organized Crime," the spin-off show starring Chris Meloni as Det. Elliott Stabler. But the saga isn't gone - it's just being hidden behind a paywall. 

The drama will have a new 10-episode season on Peacock instead. The problem? That's not available in Canada, so unless one of the streamers here picks it up, it will be all but unavailable north of the border. City TV currently has the rights, so I suppose Rogers could retain them and put it up on its CityTV+, which needs all the help it can get. 

Or the mothership could keep it on free TV here, with City continuing to run it in the same time slot of Thursday nights at 10 PM, giving them an exclusive to go along with L&O: Toronto (if that gets renewed.). 

It's not the first time a network show has gone from broadcast to streaming. CBS did well with "The Good Fight," a sequel to "The Good Wife" on its Paramount+. It also moved former network shows like "Seal Team" and "Evil" to the pay-or-miss-it schedule. And NBC grounded "Manifest," only to have it on Peacock exclusively in the U.S. 

Now L&O: OC is joining the list, and it may be a good thing - the show never really caught on like its self-named Law & Order counterparts, going through a swirl of show runners, none of whom seemed to know exactly what the program was meant to be.
