Mariska Hargitay is gearing up for her 24th season of “Law & Order: Svu”, but it’ll be a bittersweet one as she prepares to say goodbye to co-star Kelli Giddish.
Giddish announced her exit from the NBC procedural in August, confirming that she would be leaving as a full-time cast member during the upcoming season. The actress joined “Svu” as Detective Amanda Rollins at the start of season 13 alongside Danny Pino following Chris Meloni’s unexpected departure at the end of season 12.

Law & Order: Svu Season 24’s second episode finds Benson in the Bronx for a sex-crimes case involving gang activity. As she tangles with the unit’s chief (Maurice Compte) over jurisdiction, she notices how skillfully his detective Grace Muncy empathizes with a young female victim. Impressed, says exec producer David Graziano, “Benson brings her into the Svu.” Mariska Hargitay herself suggested an emotional arc exploring “how Benson looks inward to recognize her trauma” — including her torture by psychopath William Lewis and perceived abandonment by Stabler — “and heal herself,” says fellow EP Julie Martin. The goal? “To become a better captain, friend and mother, and possibly consider a relationship.” Meanwhile, Martin predicts “bumps” for Det. Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) and Ada Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino) but says, “Their love will prevail.” Still, Giddish is departing this season.

“Three squads, three hours, one case.” And so Mariska Hargitay (Captain Olivia Benson) introduces the full-length trailer for the Law & Order, Svu, and Organized Crime crossover that will kick off the three seasons on September 22. “I’d like to combine forces, work this case together,” Benson says, which is “just like old times,” Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) remarks to his former partner. The trailer, which you can watch above, offers a look at the case, the various team-ups, Stabler getting in Nolan Price’s (Hugh Dancy) face, and much more. “You need to get this conviction. How you convict him, I don’t really care,” Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) makes clear. Plus, see Detective Amanda Rollins in action — and danger! Could we be seeing the beginnings of her exit storyline? For the three-show crossover, Law & Order and Organized Crime are swapping time slots. As it begins, a mysterious...

Over 12 seasons, Amanda Rollins has gone from a wet-behind-the-ear detective to an experienced member of the Svu team. She’s also had to adjust to a lot of personal changes.
Rollins has been through the wringer, from her gambling problem to her troublesome sister to becoming a mom to two kids, yet she keeps fighting for justice.
Over the last 12 seasons, Rollins has had several episodes focusing on her, from major drama to some lighter but important moments in her life.
Some episodes had Rollins as the key focus, while others briefly touched on important moments like realizing her pregnancy. Yet a few are much better than others.

In an Instagram talk, showrunner David Graziano confirmed that Episode 9 of Season 24 would be Kelli Giddish’s last on the series.

So far, Giddish has not responded to the reports, but co-star Mariska Hargitay has shared some unique thoughts of her own.
Now, Graziano shared how Hargitay helped him in this “rough” time while giving hints to how Rollins’ story can end.
This may not soothe some fans’ feelings about the exit, but it promises Rollins will have a good sendoff to honor the character.

If you’ve watched Law & Order: Svu at any point over the last twelve years, you’re likely quite familiar with NYPD Detective Amanda Rollins. Kelli Giddish, who has played Rollins since the thirteenth season of Law & Order: Svu, announced last week that she would be leaving the show, but according to Variety, it wasn’t entirely her choice.
Variety reported that Kelli Giddish’s exit from Law & Order: Svu wasn’t a decision made by showrunner David Graziano, but rather by someone higher up. One insider said that “the company is always looking to keep the show as up to date and current as possible,” whatever that means. Variety also said that Mariska Hargitay, who has starred in the series from day one and is an executive producer, tried to keep Kelli Giddish on the show but was unsuccessful.

This will connect in both the big three-part Law & Order crossover that kicks off the seasons on September 22 and some future interaction, perhaps before Christmas.

Kelli Giddish’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit exit may not have been her choice after all.
Just days after the actress’ stunning announcement she was leaving the series, a Variety report indicates the decision to write out Amanda Rollins was actually made by higher-ups within NBC.
Giddish leaving the series after 12 seasons was a surprise with little to indicate she wanted to leave the role she clearly enjoyed.
According to the report, the issues involved salary disputes and a decision to “freshen up” the series.
Mariska Hargitay reportedly fought to keep Giddish on alongside at least one producer, but the decision was out of the hands of both her and new showrunner David Graziano.
It throws new light on the sudden departure as it now appears writing out Rollins was not the actress’ choice but forced on her.

Longtime former Law & Order: Svu showrunner Warren Leight has shared his thoughts on the upcoming exit of cast member Kellie Giddish, who announced she would be leaving the show after 12 seasons.
“Writing for Kelli Giddish was an unmitigated joy,” Leight wrote on Instagram Thursday. “She has always had perfect pitch, from first read-through to final take. I thank her for defining Rollins. Godspeed, Kelli.”
Giddish later replied to Leight’s post in an Instagram story, writing, “I never took it lightly getting to be a character you created and wrote for year after year.”
Leight had served two stints as showrunner on Svu, the first at the beginning of Season 13 when the drama had just lost its co-lead Christopher Meloni. He rejoined Svu in 2019 for the show’s record-breaking 21st season, and exited after a three-season run in May.

After 12 years with Svu (beginning with Season 13), Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) will be leaving the squad behind sooner rather than later. Giddish announced on August 24 that she will be exiting Law & Order: Svu in Season 24. “Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” her statement reads in part. “There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She’s grown and changed, and I have as well.” So far, nothing official has been said about how the NBC drama will be writing out her character, but according to TVLine, “Rollins will experience a traumatic event early into Season 24,” which may or may not be part of her exit storyline. If that is part of how Rollins leaves the squad — maybe it makes her realize that enough is enough and it’s time to get into a line of work that isn’t crime-related?...

Fans weren’t too happy to learn that Kelli Giddish is leaving Law & Order: Svu after 12 seasons, so some went looking for someone to blame on social media. Fingers were pointed at Dick Wolf, but even new showrunner David Graziano was tagged in some messages by irate fans.
That’s when Graziano, who first responded to Giddish’s announcement on Instagram with a crying emoji, followed up with a comment of his own.
“You might take a moment to entertain the idea that things are more complex than they appear in a world of emojis and tweets,” he wrote on Giddish’s Ig page. “All I’ll say is Kelli has handled this with the most incredibly classy comportment. She is, without a doubt, one of the finest industry professionals I’ve come across in my 24 years of writing for television. I’m saddened by her looming exit. It’ll...

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is going to be down a detective in Season 24.
In a surprising move, Kelli Giddish has announced she is leaving her role as Detective Amanda Rollins after 12 seasons on the series.
This announcement comes just as NBC had announced a major crossover for all three Law & Order series to premiere on September 22.

There is no word yet on when Giddish’s last episode will air or if she will have a replacement on the series.

Ada Dominick “Sonny” Carisi (Peter Scanavino) is heading home in an upcoming Law & Order: Svu episode, and that means some family time — including someone we have yet to meet. Beverly D’Angelo will be appearing in a March episode as Carisi’s mother, Serafina, TVLine reports. The only details that have been released reveal that there will be a family dinner and Ryann Shane is returning as Carisi’s niece Mia (after appearing in Season 19 — and Season 13 as a different character). That means we’ll have to wait to see if Carisi’s girlfriend, Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) is attending as well, but we have to imagine that their relationship will at least come up at some point, even if she’s busy with a case. After teasing the possibility for years, Carisi and Rollins finally crossed that line when she kissed him after he read his speech for...

Donal Logue and Ari’el Stachel, whose characters have been involved with and a potential love interest for, respectively, Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) are returning in an upcoming episode (set for January 2022), TVLine reports. Logue played Lieutenant Declan Murphy (the father of one of Rollins’ kids) in Seasons 15, 16, and 17, while Stachel’s transit cop, Sergeant Khaldun, worked with Rollins in Seasons 21 and 22.
