LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: Kelli Giddish to Guest Star in Season 26

Kelli Giddish will guest star in LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT’s upcoming 26th season, Give Me My Remote has confirmed. The episode that Giddish is currently filming is set to air this fall. (Update, Monday, October 7: The episode is set to air Thursday, October 17.)

Giddish played Amanda Rollins on the series from 2011-2022. This marks the character’s fourth return to the franchise—she previously appeared in the three-part SVU-ORGANIZED CRIME season finale in 2023, plus two SVU season 25 guest spots—since Giddish’s December 2022 exit.

In “Prima Nocta,” Giddish’s last appearance, Rollins quit her teaching job and spent her first days unemployed helping her former squad solve a case. By the end of the episode, with Rollins trying to figure out what to do next, Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) encouraged her to take some time and figure out what makes her happy.

SVU season 26 stars Mariska Hargitay, Ice T, Peter Scanavino, Octavio Pisano, Kevin Kane (who was officially made a series regular after recurring for two seasons), and franchise newcomer/new regular Juliana Aidén Martinez.

Update (6:04 PM PT): Ice T posted a BTS video of production, including Giddish filming on location.
