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.

00:00I think, I was saying this, I feel like our scripts are very grounded this season and I think
00:08because of those other shows he was on, I think he brings a bit of that vibe to our show as well,
00:15you know? You know, it's network television so it's gonna be what it is, but I do think,
00:22he brings just a little more gravitas to the world that we're in and so I'm appreciating that.
00:31I've only read three of his scripts so far because we're only on, we're about to start episode four
00:37soon, so I've read three of his scripts, I've liked the scripts, I've liked that he hasn't
00:45tried to change the characters or throw in stuff that's like, what? What is happening?
00:55It seems like he's watched the previous seasons, he's kind of in tune with who these characters
01:02are and he's writing based on that, so I appreciate that.
01:06Bell is still Bell, Stabler is still Stabler.
01:09Yes, very much so.
