Now, the anticipated Stabler spin-off will bring the detective back to our screens in a new show from executive producer Dick Wolf. Check out everything we know so far about NBC's Elliot Stabler spin-off, Law & Order: Organized Crime, below.

The first footage from Stabler and Benson's reunion is in. NBC has shared a first look at the moment Benson reunites with Stabler in SVU, and it's loaded. Check it out.

It premieres April 1. Elliot Stabler returns in a new crossover episode of Law & Order: SVU on Thursday, April 1 at 9/8c on NBC, leading into the Law & Order: Organized Crime premiere at 10/9c on NBC.
