Law & Order Thursdays are back, with an entire night of drama. Yes, that means Law & Order: SVU season 27 premieres tonight, Thursday, Sept. 25.
You will not want to miss a beat of this new season. Kelli Giddish is back as Amanda Rollins, and she’s around as a series regular again. Meanwhile, despite Oscar Pisano leaving as Velasco at the end of the previous season, he will return for the premiere episode at least. Maybe it’s a sign that the writers are learning what isn’t working for their series!
Law & Order: SVU will be sandwiched between Law & Order season 25 and Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5. Yes, the latter has already aired on Peacock, so you can catch the entire season there if you want. This is just a great way to get Thursdays back in order, though.
