'Law and Order: SVU' Isn't Coming Back This Year 0 and We're Not Okay

From Country Living

  • Law and Order: Special Victims Unit went on hiatus after a nail-biting midseason finale in November.

  • Unfortunately for us, we won't find out what's next on the police drama until 2020.


Just because we expect cliffhangers on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, doesn’t make them any easier.

The heart-pounding fall finale left off with Detective Rollins’s (Kelli Giddish) life on the line. We're begging to know what happens next, so we have one question that we need the answer to: When will the police procedural finally come back from its hiatus?

Mark your calendars, because episodes of season 21 will finally continue on January 9, 2020.

While we don’t know what will happen during the rest of the season, we do know it’s going to be intense. After all, we're dealing with Steve Getz (Vince Kartheiser), a mega-rich predator who looks like he might have just made a clean break. Not to mention Rollins is being held hostage at gunpoint by an emotionally distraught and unpredictable Detective Frank Bucci (Nicholas Turturro).

A sneak peek from TVLine teases Fin (Ice-T) and Kat (Jamie Gray Hyder) pulling aside Bucci's wife and daughters getting off Getz's yacht—fingers crossed that they catch him once and for all. But if we've learned anything from over 20 years of SVU, it's that we have no idea what could happen along the way.

If you can’t wait until January 9 to get your SVU fix, you can tune in to NBC on January 2 for a retrospective special on the record-breaking 21 years the series has been on the air.

The Paley Center Salutes Law & Order: SVU will look back on the history of the show and include interviews with creator Dick Wolf and cast members of past and present including Mariska Hargitay, Ice-T, Kelli, and many more.
