Law & Order: SVU is losing another series regular. Molly Burnett has departed the NBC series ahead of season 25. The actress played Detective Grace Muncy for less than a year. During the 24th season finale, it was revealed that Muncy had been offered a job with the DEA by the Chief of Police.
Wolf Entertainment released a bonus scene from the finale showing Burnett’s exit.

Per Deadline, Burnett’s departure could open the door for the return of Kelli Giddish, who appeared in the Thursday finales of both Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime. She departed the series after 12 seasons late last year.
Starring Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Peter Scanavino, and Octavio Pisano, Law & Order: SVU is scheduled to return to NBC this fall. However, given the current writers strike, it’s unclear if the network’s 2023-24 schedule will be delayed.
What do you think? Are you sad to see Burnett exit Law & Order: SVU? Would you like to see Giddish return as a series regular next season?
Muncy was never a good fit. Her characterization of a detective coming from vice was not the best. The acting was definitely off.
This show has been awful since Capt. Kragen left.
Bring back Kelli She’s AMAZING!!!
I would love to see Rollins back, big mistake to let her go.
