The action-packed Season 4 finale was explosive, ending on a cliffhanger, with Stabler's youngest brother Joe Jr. handcuffed to a briefcase full of a deadly Russian nerve agent. It's unclear whether Joe will survive the ordeal — all the more reason to look forward to Season 5.
For much of Season 4, Det. Stabler was undercover with a group of former Marines as he tracked down a group behind the heroin that was linked to his younger brother, Joe Jr.
On May 1, 2024, Meloni teased fans on his Instagram page, sharing a cast and crew photo — which included Dean Norris and Ellen Burstyn (who play his older brother, and mom) — as they wrapped filming for Season 4.
“Season 5 coming for ya,” Meloni stated as a hashtag.
