‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ back with cliffhanger, more ripped-from-headlines drama
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” picks up on last season’s cliffhanger when it returns for its 15th year.
In Wednesday’s episode airing at 9 p.m. Eastern, New York City police Detective Olivia Benson is being held at gunpoint by a rapist. Mariska Hargitay stars as the imperiled Benson.
Executive producer Warren Leight says that as the season unfolds, the NBC crime drama will be paying tribute to its “ripped-from-the-headlines” heritage.
That will be evident right from the start. Another new “Law & Order: SVU” episode airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern and features a story line about kidnapped girls that echoes the Ariel Castro case in Cleveland.
