Whether his wife will be just as cunning, we don’t know, but we’re excited to see how it all plays out.
The casting news comes just days after it was announced Dylan McDermott would be wrapping up his two-season stint as Richard Wheatley.
McDermott will remain in the Dick Wolfe orbit, having snagged the lead role on FBI: Most Wanted after the news of Julian McMahon’s exit.
In keeping with tradition, Beals previously appeared on Law & Order back in 2007.
This latest stint marks a new role, and we can’t wait to see how it will play out.
Law & Order: Organized Crime has a different approach to storytelling than its predecessor, telling stories over a longer arc.
Beals currently stars on The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+, as well as Showtime’s The L Word Generation Q.
The latter has yet to be renewed or canceled by Showtime, but the premium cabler has recently canceled similarly rated shows.
Law & Order: Organized Crime centers on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character Elliot Stabler, a veteran Detective who returns to the NYPD in New York following his wife’s murder.
Stabler joins the Organized Crime Task Force, led by Sergeant Ayanna Bell.
The cast also includes Danielle Moné, Truitt Tamara, and Taylor Ainsley Seiger.
NBC has yet to renew the series for a third season, but the show is looking good for renewal.
What are your thoughts on this latest addition to Organized Crime?

Law & Order: Organized Crime airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

Andy Cosferent – the assistant coach and star of Netflix’s “Cheer” – noticeably disappeared in the middle of the second season … causing viewers to wonder if the fan-favorite was axed from the show. Andy tells us … that simply wasn’t the case.
TMZ.com
Andy says there were a few reasons why he vanished in the middle of the season … one being that his main job kicked back up when things started opening after the pandemic began subsiding.
Andy explains he isn’t just an assistant coach for the Corsicana, TX team … he also works for a company that helps coordinate cheer camps, and when things opened back up, there was a huge demand for him to get back to work.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The other reason is he was secretly spearheading “Cheer Live” — which will be a live cheer tour across the country involving cheerleaders from both Navarro and Trinity Community College. Andy says he’s working with Monica Aldama behind the scenes to organize the tour, so any rumors about bad blood between the duo are just nonsense.
As far as if he thinks his presence on the show would have changed the outcome of the Daytona results in the finale … his answer is very interesting.
Disney veteran Yvonne Graham has been promoted to vice president of Talent Relations and Events at Freeform.
In her new role, Graham will manage relationships with talent across the network’s original programming portfolio and oversee special events. Graham will also continue to collaborate with partners across The Walt Disney Company to support synergy initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility efforts.
“From production to marketing and public relations, Yvonne has made a tremendous impact across every department at Freeform,” said Kristen Andersen VP of Communications, Freeform, to whom Grahan reports. “The trust she’s established with our talent and creators has enabled us to create impactful campaigns that bring Freeform to the forefront of the cultural conversation.”
In her previous role as executive director, Talent Relations and Events, Graham was responsible for overseeing the network’s roster of talent from original series including grown-ish, Good Trouble, Cruel Summer, Single Drunk Female and The Bold Type.
Graham began her career as a production intern at ABC Daytime before moving to Talent Relations at SOAPnet and eventually ABC Family, now Freeform.
Cupcake, the alligator, is the star of the hour. It’s too bad we didn’t get to spend time with her.
Oh, what an unusual hour The Rookie Season 4 Episode 13 was with Nolan and Chen spending the day going on a quest orchestrated by a troubled teenager and Thorsen bringing some heartbreak with his attachment to Langston.
Of course, we got a badass Timgela team up, too.
Aaron Thorsen remains an underrated character for this series. As the only rookie remaining, you often wonder why he’s not utilized more, but when he is, it’s always worth watching.
He had a connection to one of the most humorous aspects of the hour and the most heartbreaking. Apparently, his reality series is off to a good start, even though we have not had the chance to witness it.
The addition of his 24/7 assistant made some funny moments. As annoyed as Thorsen was by the guy’s presence, you can’t say he wasn’t damn good at his job. Harper started sending him on fool’s quest, suspecting he’d never complete the tasks, but he always rose to the occasion.
The food mission was funny, but it was his ability to track down her favorite childhood doll that was meaningful to her that made for a heartwarming moment.
Harper’s pregnancy has given us some amusing moments and some stressful ones, and that’s likely to continue until the baby is born. It’s good that she takes her health seriously after her previous issues with her first child. But she also needs to work better at informing James about things rather than assuming she’ll do it alone.
He’s as invested in their child as she is, and you knew he was genuine when he said he wanted to know everything, even if it was her hiccuping wrong. But this also makes you a bit wary that they’ll provide some possible complications with her pregnancy down the road.
Yo, this system is a joke!
Thorsen
But it was Thorsen’s moments with Langston (a welcome appearance by Queen of the South’s Alimi Ballard) that proved to be among the best of the hour. Sometimes it feels like they make Thorsen’s entire identity is that of the wrongfully convicted man who became a cop. It’s about the only thing we know about him, which is unfortunate.
However, there are moments when that part of his story is engaging. Thorsen is in a unique position where he understands exactly how flawed the system is and how it screws people over. He was a victim of it, and no amount of him fighting the good fight within it changes that.
Where most saw Langston as a cop-killer, Thorsen took the time to listen to him, and he realized that there was a chance that Lanston was innocent.
It was an excellent way to incorporate the adorable bromance that is Wesley and James, even if we still have to keep ignoring that the former shouldn’t be associated with law in any capacity right now.
The revelation that they had evidence of Langston stomping and paralyzing a guard during a riot was heartbreaking. The actions of Lanston forever change the poor guard’s life, and now he’s facing 20 to Life for attempted murder. But it’s agitating that Lanston became a victim of his environment, too.
How do you feel about alligators?
Leo
One of the worst parts about a flawed system is that innocent people can go to prison and become something else entirely while in there for survival. They’re unlike themselves. If Langston had never got wrongfully convicted, he wouldn’t have been in a prison riot in the first place.
Now, even if they retry his original case, he has to pay for what happened while inside of a place he was never supposed to be. Harper didn’t get why Thorsen was going above and beyond for a presumed cop killer, and by now, it’s odd that she doesn’t realize how his experience shapes Thorsen’s outlook on things.
He explained it in such a haunting way. He remembers what it was like to spend time in an ancient prison with terrible conditions for something he didn’t do, only to get out and still have people believing he was a murderer. But on top of that label, he hasn’t been able to shake; they never found out who really killed Patrick.
It means that the killer is out there living their lives with no consequence, and that’s unbearable for Thorsen. And if Langston didn’t kill the cop, then all that passion that Harper and other cops have about this man they thought killed one of their own is pointless if the person responsible is still out there.
We have the perfect setup for Thorsen solving his friend’s murder, and I hope that’s something that the series will choose to explore. It’s one of the most compelling loose threads they could’ve introduced.
Nolan’s connection with Leo was charming in its own right. Leo is a good kid, and he made a difference even though he chose an unorthodox way of making a stand.
He made Nolan and Chen work hard, and they busted up a few operations in the process. Leo did everything in his power to steer them toward arresting his stepfather to save his mother. You can’t say the kid doesn’t love her with his efforts to save her from Brian and herself.
He had already lost his father, so he couldn’t bear the thought of losing his mother to her addiction because of Brian.
Of the entire quest, whatever happened with Cupcake made it hilarious. Lucy said that she ate her taser, and it’s too bad we didn’t get to see her and Nolan trying to wrestle that thing or whatever other antics.
Devotion to Cupcake led to them closing the case and convincing Leo to land the helicopter. It’s still mystifying that this kid managed to steal a police chopper and make it up into the air. It’s insane that Chen and Nolan were on the case and indulged him for four hours.
And the tease that he ran out of fuel should’ve been a nailbiter, but it led to an anti-climactic, safe landing.
Just when they thought it was over, Cupcake escaped. Good times, yes?
They gave us some Timgela time, too. For the most part, there wasn’t too much happening with their investigation into the robbery and murders and trying to prove it wasn’t Dez.
Bradford: You OK?
Angela: You know it!
Tim had that funny moment with the dog when they searched the house. But the real excitement didn’t come until they busted through the door to save the hostages and take everyone down.
Tim looked good in his white t-shirt, and then it was on and cracking with smoke bombs and a shootout. It’s always good to see Tim and Angela in the field with each other because they know one another so well. They cover each other well, too.
The pair had a couple of great synchronized moments during the shootout, and it screamed ‘buddy-cop.”
Angela’s badass beatdown was the ultimate highlight, though. The woman is a scrapper! You can bet your ass, Angela Lopez is and always will be “good.”
Often the best way, and the only way, to deal with a person in a crisis is to accept their reality.
Chen
It was not the most exciting out of the bunch for an installment before a month-long break. It even had its dull moments. But they’ll give us something to come back to on February 27.
Over to you, Rookie Fanatics. What did you think of the hour? Which storyline interested you the most? Hit the comments.
Howard Hesseman, best known as Dr. Johnny Fever on “WKRP in Cincinnati,” died Saturday in Los Angeles.
Hesseman’s wife, Caroline Ducrocq, tells TMZ he was at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. for colon surgery last summer … but when it resulted in complications … that’s when things started to go south.
Caroline says he was hospitalized January 5 due to complications from that surgery. It got worse 5 days later when he had trouble breathing. He began experiencing breathing difficulties and ended up in ICU. Caroline says that was the beginning of the end.
Howard first appeared under a fake name — Don Sturdy — on the show “Dragnet” in ‘68, playing a hippie editor of an underground newspaper. He then appeared in shows such as “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Boston Legal,” “That ’70s Show,” and “The Bob Newhart Show.” He appeared on the final season of “One Day at a Time,” marring the star character played by Bonnie Franklin.
His movie roles are vast … “Halloween II,” “The Sunshine Boys,” “Silent Movie,” “The Big Bus,” and “The Other Side of Midnight.”
Howard’s breakout role was the hilarious Dr. Johnny Fever on “WKRP.” Hesseman prepared for the role by working as a DJ in San Francisco at KMPX-FM for several months leading up to the production. He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy.
To show you how times have changed, he was jailed for 90 days back in 1963 for selling a single ounce of pot. And he was fired from a $100,000-a-year radio gig for using the word “booger.”
Caroline was with him by his side, holding his hand when he passed. He was surrounded by other family members.
He was 81.
RIP.
