On Variety, it says "While both “Law & Order” and “SVU” will have 22 episodes, “Organized Crime” will have 13." Is this true? I hope it is not, because I think Organized Crime is the best one out of the three. I hope all of them have each a equal number of episodes for its next seasons.

Variety is the only place (right now) that I've seen the information on the OC episode count. But they are very reliable so it is probably true. That said, things have been known to change in the L&O universe (wink)!

Thanks!

It looks like OC will have 13 episodes next season. In this case, hopefully, they focus on one criminal, like what the show did in season 1 with Wheatley (and with their original plan of 13 episodes for that season too instead of the ultimate 8 episodes).
