LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: Kelli Giddish to Guest Star in Season 25 Premiere

Kelli Giddish is returning to LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT for a guest spot in the upcoming 25th season premiere, Give Me My Remote has learned.

Giddish starred on the long-running drama as Amanda Rollins from 2011-2022. Initially, Rollins exited SVU by eloping with Carisi (Peter Scanavino) and leaving the NYPD to pursue teaching. But Rollins returned in the three-part SVU-ORGANIZED CRIME season finale as OC’s Stabler (Christopher Meloni) recruited the professor to help profile the person behind a revenge-for-hire plot.

“Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” Giddish said in a statement when her exit was announced. “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.”

Giddish has also played Rollins in guest spots on LAW & ORDER, CHICAGO P.D., and CHICAGO FIRE.

Update (11:37 AM): “Rollins in the #SVU25 premiere,” executive producer Julie Martin tweeted. “Joy abounds.”

Update (3:55 PM): Mariska Hargitay posted a video with Giddish.
