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?
No I’m not upset she left. I want to see Rollins come back
Really disappointed Molly Burnett left. Never liked Rollins character, glad that character left. Don’t bring her back.
yes bring back Kelli, but don’t let Molly go. She’s terrific!!!!!
Yes for Rollin’s return!!
yes want Kelli back
I would love to have Kellie return to Law and order special victims
Kelli Giddish has been very missed they need to bring her back for sure!
I’d love to see Kelli Giddish return, if she wants to, depending on the politics behind whomever called for her exit in the first place. I was under the impression she didn’t want to leave, somebody in upper management did. I thought they were still developing the Molly Burnett character but hadn’t fully got there yet. Ĥopefully she has other plans in mind.
It was my impression that Kelli wanted to leave. Maybe SHE realized that she made a huge mistake.
Hope that Kelli Giddish will return but will miss Molly Burnett.
Definitely bring back Kelli!!
NBC realized they made a big mistake.
Yes, I so so hope they bring Kelli back. It was a mistake to let her go in the first place.
Hoping Kelli will come back, she was missed. I also liked the new character Muncy, she added to the show
Glad to see that Kelli may return.
