Over two decades, “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” has been a constant source of entertainment and intrigue for lovers of crime dramas and police procedurals. The program has remained a fan favorite due to its compelling stories, dedicated cast, and commitment to addressing important social issues. This article explores what is currently known about the highly anticipated revival of “Law and Order: SVU.”
When to Expect SVU Law & Order Season 25?
The debut of the 25th season of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit will take place on Thursday, January 18, 2024, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, said NBC. In addition, Mariska Hargitay revealed that the show will broadcast on the same night as Law and Order and Law and Order: Organized Crime by posting a portion of the trailer that was provided by the network on her Instagram account.

Season 25 of Law & Order: SVU: The Complete Plot Description
Season 25 of Law & Order: SVU has not yet revealed the stories it will explore. The updated NBC schedule reveals, however, that one anticipated plot development is unlikely to occur soon. Law & Order: Organized Crime, the spinoff starring Christopher Meloni’s Detective Elliot Stabler, will move out of the “three-prong” line-up (the arrangement that sees it air after other Law & Order shows on Thursday nights) until at least midseason. This means that there will be fewer opportunities for crossovers and the development of Stabler and Benson’s potential romantic relationship.

No new cast members have been announced for season 25 of Law & Order: SVU. As a result, audiences can anticipate a familiar returning cast led by Mariska Hargitay, who has played Olivia Benson since the show’s premiere in 1999, and Ice-T, who recently stated on the Tonight Show, “I’m gonna stay on until the wheels fall off.”
Peter Scanavino as Dominik Carisi, Octavio Pisano as Joe Velasco, Kevin Kane as Terry Bruno, Jasmine Batchelor as Tonie Churlish, and Demore Barnes as Christian Barland are also anticipated to return.
Dominik Carisi’s continued presence on Law & Order: SVU is excellent news for those who wish to see more of Amanda Rollins. With her farewell episode featuring her marriage to long-time companion ADA Carisi and season 24’s finale featuring her pregnancy with his child, the likelihood of Kelli Giddish reprising the role as a guest star is extremely high.
The most recent Law & Order: SVU season 25 news involves the official confirmation of an unexpected cast departure hinted at in the season 24 finale. The season 24 finale of Law & Order: SVU, which also marked the conclusion of a thrilling crossover event with Law & Order: Organized Crime, saw Detective Grace Muncy (Molly Burnett) seemingly depart the team for a new one.
Molly Burnett’s Law & Order: SVU exit has been confirmed, and her character will not return for season 25. While the finality of this farewell was ambiguous amid the chaos of the Law & Order crossover finale, it has since been confirmed that Burnett’s character will not return for season 25.
Given Kelli Giddish’s controversial departure from Law & Order: SVU, the apparent precipitous departure of one of the squad’s newest members came as a surprise.
Her character, Amanda Rollins, was a longtime member of the unit, and after her midseason departure, it seemed likely that the producers of Law & Order: SVU would want to maintain continuity with the remaining cast.
The news that Burnett will not be returning to Law & Order: SVU is another setback to Law & Order: SVU viewers, who may have already been affected by the cast reduction.

I have been watching law and order SVU since it started in 1999, I really hope to see a season 25, and I was really hoping to see it in september, we are long-time fans and we’re all very upset that it’s not coming out till 2024 and it will only be 10 episodes. Please get it on before 2024. Even if you can’t get it till the beginning of November but we’d like to see it before January of 2024. And they’re also not coming back out with La Brea, or organize crime until then, why I don’t know so what are we supposed to be watching now on NBC is it all going to be repeats of crap that nobody wants to watch, or is it going to be new shows out of something else
