Why It's Important?
The airing of 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' on NBC, despite its move to Peacock, highlights the network's strategy to maintain viewership and cater to fans who may not have access to the streaming service. This decision could impact NBC's ratings positively, as the 'Law & Order' franchise has a dedicated fan base. Additionally, the crossover event is likely to attract viewers from the other 'Law & Order' series, potentially boosting interest in the new season.
What's Next?
Following the premiere, 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' will continue to release new episodes weekly on Peacock. The network's decision to air the premiere on NBC may lead to similar strategies for other shows transitioning to streaming platforms.
