The fall is all about the return of our favorite TV crime dramas. Law & Order: SVU Season 25 isn’t coming this month, but when will it arrive?
Fall TV is set to return, but it’s looking very different to normal. We have some bad news for fans of the Dick Wolf shows. None of them are coming back this month, and that includes Law & Order: SVU Season 25.
That just means we’re waiting for a month, right? After all, we’ve seen that Quantum Leap and Magnum PI will be back in October. This is where the bad news continues. We’re not going to see new episodes of SVU for the rest of the year.
When will Law & Order: SVU Season 25 premiere on NBC?
Why would NBC change the schedule so dramatically? Is it a bad sign for the Law & Order franchise? Not at all! NBC didn’t want to change Thursdays too much.
This is all linked to the current strike action. Back in May, NBC hoped for things to work out to bring a normal fall. The new schedule didn’t come out until July when the actors joined the writers on strike. There has been little movement since then, and it means that NBC has no choice but to hold off a lot of the scripted content until next year.
We don’t know when next year. Maybe there is a chance of the show returning in January. This is all going to depend on when production restarts and when the episodes will be ready. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on things.
The good news is NBC will bring some Law & Order reruns to kick off Thursday nights. We will also get new episodes of new shows The Irrational and Found and new episodes of Magnum PI.
Law & Order: SVU is available to stream on Peacock.
