Christopher Meloni is saying something of a farewell to Elliot Stabler, the “Law & Order” detective he’s been playing on and off since 1999.

On Thursday, news broke that “Law & Order: Organized Crime” has been canceled after five seasons. Though Meloni occasionally pops into “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” for guest appearances, the cancellation means he will no longer play Stabler full-time.
