Exciting news for "Law & Order: SVU" fans! Kelli Giddish's return as Amanda Rollins is sure to add a lot of energy to Season 26. Her character had a significant impact on the show, and having her back will likely be a highlight for many viewers.
“Rollins is definitely coming back to the show,” Martin says. “She’s coming as a guest star, and she’s going to make a bunch of appearances throughout the season” Graziano adds. “We’re really happy about it.”
Kelli Giddish's return in that May 2024 episode must have been a treat for fans, especially with the compelling storyline involving Rollins helping out Benson. It sounds like the show is continuing to explore Rollins' journey and her transition after leaving SVU as a series regular. Benson’s advice to Rollins about finding her true path adds a layer of depth to her character’s narrative and might hint at some interesting developments for Rollins in the upcoming season.
Seems like Rollins took her old boss’ advice to heart: When she pops up in Season 26, the EPs say, Rollins will be working with the New York Police Department’s Intelligence Unit, “which is very different from the Intelligence Unit anywhere else, because the Intelligence Unit in New York has cops stationed in almost every country in the world,” Graziano explains. “And so, Rollins is going to be traveling a lot as part of that job.”
Rollins and Carisi’s relationship is in a good place, so no need to worry. Their dynamic has been a fan favorite, and seeing them continue to navigate parenthood while Rollins is away will add a new dimension to their story. Carisi’s solo-parenting adventures sound like they’ll offer some fresh and engaging plotlines. Balancing work and family life can be challenging, and it will be interesting to see how he handles it, especially with the support of friends like Liv and Fin. The storyline where Carisi and his daughter get involved in a situation together sounds intriguing—I'm sure it will provide both drama and heartwarming moments.
SVU will return for Season 26 on Thursday, Oct. 3, at 9/8c on NBC.
