The long wait for the world of Law & Order is nearly over in the 2024 TV schedule, and Organized Crime will return in the wake of the death of one of their own. The Season 4 premiere will see Stabler returning from an undercover gig while Bell brings in a new advisor, with Jet and Reyes facing struggles of their own. While the task force members are no strangers to rising to challenges, they'll do so in Season 4 with John Shiban as new showrunner. Danielle Moné Truitt, who plays Sergeant Ayanna Bell, opened up about what the former Breaking Bad producer/writer/director brings to the show.
John Shiban is actually the sixth person to take on the showrunner role for Law & Order: Organized Crime, and he comes to the franchise's newest installment with plenty of TV experience. In addition to Breaking Bad, he has written, directed, and produced series ranging from The X-Files to Supernatural to Ozark, to name just a few. When I spoke with Danielle Moné Truitt about OC Season 4, I noted his work on Breaking Bad and The X-Files in particular among his many TV credits, and she shared what he has brought behind the scenes to Season 4.

00:00 I think I was saying this, I feel like our scripts are very grounded this season.
00:06 And I think because of those other shows he was on, I think he brings a bit of that vibe to our
00:14 show as well. You know, you know, it's network television, so it's going to be what it is.
00:20 But I do think, you know, he brings just a little more gravitas to the world that we're in.
00:29 And so I'm appreciating that. I've only read three of his scripts so far, because we're only on,
00:33 we're about to start episode four soon. So I've read three of his scripts. I've liked the scripts.
00:41 I've liked that he hasn't tried to like change the characters or like throw in stuff that's like,
00:50 what? Like, what is happening? You know, it seems like he's watched the previous seasons. He's
00:59 kind of in tune with who these characters are. And he's writing based on that. So I appreciate that.
01:05 Bell is still Bell. Stabler is still Stabler.
01:09 Yes, very much so.
