John Shiban Latest Showrunner To Depart ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’; Matt Olmstead Rejoins As EP
John Shiban has become the fifth showrunner to leave Law & Order: Organized Crime with original showrunner Matt Olmstead stepping in as exec producer.
The Wolf Entertainment/Universal TV series, which is moving to Peacock for its upcoming fifth season, is now back filming, with its original showrunner, Matt Olmstead, stepping in as executive producer. He was succeeded by Ilene Chaiken, with the two of them, along with Law & Order boss Dick Wolf, credited as the series’ creators. At least some of its issues that have resulted in frequent showrunner changes could be related to the fact that the series has been an outlier in the Dick Wolf universe, a departure from his signature procedural brand with darker and serialized storytelling.
