Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5 will see the addition of a new mystery character, who has links to main character Elliot Stabler’s past.

While details about her character, Isabella, remain under wraps, her connection to Elliot Stabler suggests that Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio’s role could become crucial in the upcoming season of *Law & Order: Organized Crime*. The 65-year-old actress brings a fresh dynamic to the show while offering familiarity to long-time *Law & Order* fans, having previously appeared as Captain Zoe Callas in *Criminal Intent* season 9.
Though it’s unclear how long Mastrantonio will stay on *Organized Crime*, fans are hopeful that she’ll enjoy a season-long recurring role.
