“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” fans will only have to wait a little longer to see Christopher Meloni reprise his role as Elliot Stabler opposite Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson. NBC has set an April series premiere date for “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” which just so happens to be a two-hour crossover event with “SVU.”

Airing April 1, the crossover will begin with “Law & Order: SVU” at 9 p.m. and lead into the debut of the new Meloni-led Dick Wolf series, “Law & Order: Organized Crime” at 10.

Here’s the official description for “Organized Crime”: Christopher Meloni, reprising his role as Elliot Stabler, returns to the NYPD to battle organized crime after a devastating personal loss. Stabler will aim to rebuild his life as part of a new elite task force that is taking apart the city’s most powerful criminal syndicates one by one.
