Why NBC didn’t air a new Law & Order: SVU Episode on May 29?

On May 29, there was no fresh episode of Law & Order: SVU shown on NBC as the show is currently on its summer break, having completed Season 26.

Based on the info given earlier, Season 26 with 22 episodes has already aired completely on NBC. This means that fresh episodes or the upcoming season won’t be shown on the network soon. For those eager to watch older episodes of the series, they can find all 26 seasons on Peacock streaming platform instead.

When will Law & Order: SVU return with new episodes?

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is coming back with fresh episodes starting in Fall 2025. This marks the beginning of Season 27. As always, you can catch it every Thursday at 9/8 central time on NBC.

In May 2025, NBC decided to bring back Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for its 27th season. Typically premiering in the fall each year, with a single exception being season 25 in 2024 that was affected by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, season 27 will follow this pattern.

In the main cast of Law & Order: SVU, we have Mariska Hargitay portraying Captain Olivia Benson, Ice-T taking on the role of Sergeant Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, Peter Scanavino as Assistant District Attorney Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr., and Kevin Kane playing Terry Bruno.
