Kelli Giddish’s Final LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Episode Set for December

NBC has set an air date for Kelli Giddish’s final appearance as a regular on LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT—Thursday, December 8.

“I already know how we’re going to say goodbye (for now) to her,” LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT boss David Graziano previously wrote on Instagram. “It will be an honest exploration of sisterhood, chosen family, redemption and hope – with a storyline tailor made for our two female powerhouses. Love will prevail for Rollisi, because I’m a romantic like that 🤓”

Giddish joined SVU as Detective Amanda Rollins in 2011. “Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” she said in a statement when news of her exit broke. “I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the LAW & ORDER family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She’s grown and changed, and I have as well. I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I’m grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life.”

But before Giddish signs off in December, she’ll also appear in an upcoming episode of LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME. (Update, 10/13: Giddish will appear in the October 27 episode.) This will technically mark her second appearance on the SVU spinoff, after appearing in the season-opening three-part crossover event. (Giddish was previously set to appear in an OC season 2 episode, but plans changed.)

Update, 10/17: NBC released an official logline for the ORGANIZED CRIME hour Giddish will appear in: “While Stabler is called to testify against the Brotherhood in court, the task force sets their sights on a dangerous criminal gang posing as police. Reyes finds a surprising connection to the suspects they’re after. Bell receives some unwelcome news.” (Update, 10/19: The episode is called “Behind Blue Eyes.”)
