‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ Season 27 Just Gained Back a Former Series Regular

After two and a half years, Kelli Giddish is officially making a return to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a series regular. Giddish's Amanda Rollins left mid-season 24, with the actress departing the show as a series regular. She'd made guest appearances over the last two and a half years, first returning as a friend, confidant, and professor and now as a sergeant with the intelligence division. Deadline now confirms that Rollins will be back for the historic Season 27 as a series regular. There have been a series of shakeups ahead of the 27th Season. The series just lost two series regulars, Juliana Martinez and Octavio Pisano, as well as two executive producers: Julie Martin and Norberto Barba. What the show has gained, in addition to Giddish's return, is the first female showrunner in the series history with Michele Fazekas taking over as showrunner from David Graziano.
