While NBC has cancelled the original Law & Order, the network isn’t about to let Law & Order: Special Victims Unit go. It’s one of their highest-rated shows in the target demographic.
Law & Order: SVU revolves around the detectives and prosecutors associated with the New York City Police Department’s 16th precinct. Castmembers have included B.D. Wong, Christopher Meloni, Dann Florek, Ice-T, Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer, Stephanie March, Tamara Tunie, Adam Beach, Diane Neal, Michaela McManus, and Michelle Hurd.
The series began back in September 1999 on NBC. It registered as the 40th most-watched show of the season and was still renewed. In year two, it moved up to #25 and then peaked in season three, at #14.
The cop drama’s essentially been in decline ever since but, considering the poor shape of the rest of NBC’s schedule, it’s still a top performer for the peacock network.
To no surprise, NBC has renewed SVU for next season. No word on when season 12 will debut but the network is supposed to release its schedule on Sunday.
What do you think? Are you happy to hear that SVU return for season 12? Is it the best of the franchise or is there a better one?

OMG!!!!!!!! Best Show in the WHOLEEEE WORLD!!!!! if the show was cancled id DIEEE!!!
I love Law & Order Svu. It is a very good show it is the best out of all the Law & Orders ….
Great to hear that it’s still on the Air.
I’d like to see Diane Neal come back in. Perhaps, Novak won’t be an A.D.A anymore but a judge. After getting disbarred, hopefully she went back to law school to become someone even more than an A.D.A Now, that would be awesome. A.D.A Alex Cabbot and Judge Novak. 🙂 Or we will start seeing more the D.A. in season 12.
I LOVE Svu, I watch it all the time on Netflix. I hope it keeps running for years. And hopefully Alex Cabot will be the A.D.A. from now on.
It’s good to hear.I wish Wentworth Miller comes back in this season.He was awesome as officer Nate Kendall.I didn’t use to watch this show but I’ll do if Wentworth becomes regular in the cast
law and order svu is one of the best if not the best ever in NBC. Enough that we are losing Law and Order, and we won´t have Waterston around, fine actor. I am glad it stays longer….one more season to enjoy
I absolutely ADORE this show, though I mainly watch it through its runs on USA (and I regularly watch the daily marathons on Tues during the week and then USA airs NBC’s newest episode at night) I even left CSI (after the departure of William Petersen) and I am very glad I came to enjoy this show! I will be very sad the day it ends.
IF they EVER even try to get rid of svu i will cry for the rest of my life! I LOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEE LAW &ORDER SVU! I watch it all the time and when i can’t i record it on Tvo
I’m thrilled that there’s going to be another season. My mom & I watch every week. It’s our bonding time & I’m glad it will be back on the air. Hopefully the handsom Christopher Meloni will be back for more!
I’m ecstatic!!! I LOVE SVU! Beautiful Mariska! <3 I just hope Chris Meloni is still on the show! I heard rumours he is not coming back!! :(((
I’m so happy SVU is coming back. Mariska is amazing on this show!!! The entire season is a must see!!!
My favorite show on TV. I hope it stays for a long time….
what do i think??? my life is so much better with SVU!!! thank goodness it is being picked up for yet another wonderful season. its one of the only series i watch on tv..thanks nbc
I watch very few commercial television shows, but not the L&O series. Only other commercial show I watch is The Daily Show. So I say, in sadness, that I will miss any one of the L&O series, if cancelled.
it’s amazing
