Captain Benson and company are back to take us through the most gut-wrenching criminal cases as the historic primetime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit officially aired its twenty-fourth season last week on Thursday, September 22, 2022. Needless to say, fans are elated. The first of its kind in the vast history of “dun dun”, the new season premiered with a crossover event of three series: Law & Order: SVU, Law & Order: Organized Crime, and Law & Order. This crossover kicked off the new season for each of the mentioned shows.
While it is not uncommon for the Special Victims Unit to collaborate with the Organised Crime Unit, this was the first time Jack McCoy and his elite unit joined Captain Benson and the Organised Crime squad as champions of justice. In last week’s episode, the third of the new season, we saw Bensen trying to help a pop star deal with her toxic and abusive relationship, while Rollins struggled with keeping her professional and personal life apart when she took the stress of her job to her home.
Meanwhile, as the SVU investigated it, Carisi made it real when she took the case of the pop star up at trial after she was raped by her boyfriend. And as Benson gave Velasco the responsibility of training her, Fin was too happy to teach Muncy, a newcomer, a lesson about how to respect fellow personnel. The third episode, which is entitled Mirror Effect, was released on Thursday, October 6.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 24 Overview
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is the companion series to NBC’s “Law & Order” franchise which follows the life of the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department and the dark and grueling criminal cases, mostly those of a sexual nature, they strive to solve.
The new season is produced by Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment. David Graziano will serve as the new showrunner in place of Warren Leight. The cases featured in the episodes are inspired by true, real-life stories.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 24 Cast
For the twenty-fourth season of the long-running primetime drama, Mariska Hargitay will return as Captain Olivia Bension, the heart of the show as she has for the past twenty years, making her almost synonymous with her character.
Alongside Hargitay, Ice-T is Sergeant Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, Peter Scanavino is Assistant District Attorney Dominick “Sonny” Carisi, Jr., and Octavio Pisano is Junior Detective Joe Velasco.
Fans were shocked to hear when on August 24 this year, Kelli Giddish, who plays Senior Detective Amanda Rollins, confirmed the rising speculation that Season 24 will be her last with the SVU after 12 years on the show and she will be leaving the show during season 24 after Episode 9.
Moreover, Molly Burnett is a new addition who has joined the main cast as Junior Detective Grace Muncy.
