Rick Gonzalez will likely still be maintaining the law and order…

The NBC drama Law & Order: Organized Crime, starring the 44-year-old Puerto Rican and Dominican American actor, could be heading to Peacock.

Rick GonzalezWolf Entertainment is finalizing a deal for a 10-episode Season 5 renewal, per Deadline.com.

The new season would stream exclusively on the platform.

The move gives the NBCUniversal streamer an original Dick Wolf drama series to go with the Wolf library and next-day runs of the company’s remaining NBC series Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU, which are among the platform’s most viewed titles.

Law & Order: Organized Crime, which follows SVU‘s Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) in his return to the NYPD to work on the Organized Crime Task Force, has been an outlier, a departure from the Dick Wolf procedural brand with its darker and serialized storytelling. Possibly as a result, the series has performed below the five other Wolf dramas in linear ratings on NBC while doing well on Peacock.

This is the second series in the Law & Order franchise to transition to another platform after starting on NBC. L&O: Criminal Intent ran on USA Network for four additional seasons after the initial six on NBC.

Series that have enjoyed successful multi-season second chapters as streaming originals following respectable initial broadcast runs include Lucifer (Fox/Netflix) and The Mindy Project (Fox/Hulu).

Organized Crime — whose first four seasons consisted of eight episodes (S1), 22 (S2-3) and 13 (S4) — is executive produced by Wolf, showrunner John Shiban, Paul Cabbad, Meloni, Arthur W. Forney and Peter Jankowski.

The cast also includes Danielle Moné Truitt, Ainsley Seiger and Gonzalez. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, produces in association with Wolf Entertainment.

Rick Gonzalez is about the feel The Rush…

Written and directed by Jonathan Levine, the project is in the vein of USA’s Royal Pains, as it follows an on-call doctor.

It centers on Dr. William Rush (portrayed by Tony Ellis) who is not your average on-call doctor — he’s not attached to any hospital, he’s highly discreet no matter what the ailment as long as the client can pay his cash-only premium and the doctor can party with the best of them.

The Coach Carter star will portray Manny Maquis, a well-connected dealer, who considers Rush a friend, as well as a client.

Gonzalez’s most recent credits include co-starring in Lady Gaga’s “Judas” music video, a guest-starring role on NCIS and a starring role on the CW series Reaper.

Adapted from the long-running U.K. series of the same name, the project follows the ins and outs of a group of unlikely women in a federal prison: a scandalous female warden, her new protégé and a host of inmates — some mothers, some friends — who struggle with loyalties to people on the inside and outside.

Gonzalez, best known for his role as Timo Cruz in the movie Coach Carter, will play a hot, tattooed ex gang-banger who is now a correctional officer at the women’s prison and the object of lust among the female inmates.
