‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 17, episode 10 preview: When will Mariska Hargitay, cast return?
“Law & Order: SVU” chose to end its 2015 run in a rather big way with “Depravity Standard” last night, bringing back B.D. Wong and Tom Sizemore for a case that has haunted Benson for a rather long time. Let’s hope that this is enough to tide you over.
For the time being, NBC has not confirmed a specific return date for the series, but star Mariska Hargitay wrote last night on Twitter that you can expect to see new episodes beginning once more in January. There’s a lot of story left to tell, hence her tease that there are some “pretty bad guys” who are going to be turning up.
Ultimately, it’s rather hard to tease too much more about the upcoming episodes of this show, given that it is so far down the road and there are not any official synopses available. We wouldn’t be surprised if they touched on some more current events (Jared Fogle’s horrific actions come to mind), or if they brought back some more guest stars from the past to continue that recent trend. The biggest thing that the writers / producers right now should be doing is celebrating, given that “SVU” has had a pretty nice run in the ratings this fall. It is up slightly right now versus season 16 in the demo, though down slightly in total viewers.
For those still hoping to get a variety of news when it comes to the show throughout the hiatus, don’t worry: That’ll be coming soon enough!

every actress and actor needs a break but melissa sagemiller would a great replacement for Kelli Giddish Melissa was the only star to say she liked my opinion . anyway Melissa and Kelli Could both play on svu and just because you send an idea to an svu writer and they dont response doesnt mean they wont take it into account . because when law & order CI was cancelled i send a message that Kibye should be promoted to LT
eames the svu production team didnt do it the way i want it to be idea but ad least she play Lt Eames in svu . i know Nbc Say’s Mariska will be in a class of her our after season 17 but that doesnt have to be true bring Stephanie march back as the svu Bureau chief ADA have actor and actress that are popular that svu never had on an episode before more episode’s basic on really life event have more two hour part episode’s . svu need shouldnt just have a long beginning then a short ending

I doubt we will see SVU until sometime in January, just like last year. The difference is the last fall episode last season was the first week of December. Are they waiting the extra time so that Kelli Giddish will be back? I hope so. A 6-7 week break is a long time. They should use up all the remaining episodes of MOL while SVU is on hiatus so MOL can stop killing SVU’s ratings. It finished behind Criminal Minds again(thank you MOL).
