Since 1999, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has held an important place in the zeitgeist. Centered around the Manhattan NYPD unit that handles sex crimes, SVU has played a role in changing the rhetoric around sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. Though no one could have predicted just how popular the show would become, it continues to garner new fans thanks to the stories it tells every week. SVU might have begun as just another member of the Law & Order franchise, but since then, it has taken center stage.When Law & Order: SVU returns to NBC after the long hiatus, it will be airing its 25th season. SVU will be the first primetime television drama to do so and is second only to The Simpsons when it comes to primetime scripted shows that have 25 seasons or more. Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, SVU will have a shortened season of just 13 episodes and will be airing its 25th season premiere eight months to the day after its 24th season finale. It might be one more season for Law & Order: SVU to hang on its wall, but it doesn’t have to be just any season.SVU isn’t the only show celebrating a milestone when they return in early 2024. After a 148-day WGA strike and a 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike — which overlapped for 75 days — every show that planned to begin filming during the Summer of 2023 will be returning with a shortened season. Being able to write and film these shows after such long fights against the AMPTP is a huge deal for anyone making a television show that has been on hold for months. What will be most important for any show, and especially for SVU, is to take the opportunity to celebrate.
