LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: ‘The Long Arm of the Witness’ Photos

Wentworth Miller returns to LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT on Thursday, January 21, as Carisi (Peter Scanavino) seeks out Holmes—who has recently been promoted to be the head of Brooklyn DA’s Civil Rights Unit—for help with a case.

“Holmes comes back not so much as a prosecutor, but as a witness,” executive producer Warren Leight teased via email. “He was a scholarship student at Hudson University (of course), years ago, when an incident occurred, and was covered up. Years later, the shame and guilt he feels about his failure to act then, resurfaces. It may offer him a chance to atone, or it may be too late.”

And while Rollins (Kelli Giddish) was MIA last week, drama is on the horizon. “Rollins did go through a lot this year, and for now, she’s been coping with raising two kids squirreled in a small apartment, in the midst of a pandemic,” Leight acknowledged. “As the season continues, she will once again be under pressure. Look for another Bronx Tale to upend her life.”

NBC’s take on “The Long Arm of the Witness”: “Carisi takes on a powerful judge when he inexplicably dismisses the rape case of a university student. Guest starring Wentworth Miller, Elizabeth Marvel and Josh Stamberg.”
