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?

I’ve heard romers that chris maloni and tamara Tuni are both leaving the series after
season 12 is over . I hope this is not true as the show would not be the same without
original cast members .I would continue to watch it as it is my favorite tv show but would
be very disipointed if any of the original cast was to leave ,you know the old saying if it aint brook don’t fix it the show is great as it is please don’t change anything
I LOVE Law & Order: SVU!! Someone told me it was canceled and I was devastated until I found out that it was the original Law & Order that was canceled. Please don’t ever cancel this show!
I own every season of SVU, I hope it will continue for a few more years… I love it.
