With Hargitay set to make her comeback as the beloved Detective Olivia Benson, fans could also see Giddish reprise her role as Detective Amanda Rollins.

Fans will recall the emotional moment Rollins decided to hand in her badge and gun midway through season 24.
After she and Benson had too many glasses of boxed wine Rollins told her that she intends on leaving the SVU to take on a teaching job at Fordham.
Although Benson was heartbroken, she supported her friend and attended her wedding to Dominick Carisi, Jr (played by Peter Scanavino).

Despite her exit, Kelli returned for a cameo in the season finale, which was part of a crossover with Law & Order and Law & Order: Organized Crime.
In the episode, Rollins was pregnant and expecting her first child, much like the actress was in real life.
When her exit was announced in 2022, Kelli told fans: “Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the Law & Order family for the last 12 years.
“There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She’s grown and changed, and I have as well.
I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I’m grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life.”
