LAW & ORDER SVU Season 20 Episode 1
Photos Man Up – Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, “Law
& Order: Special Victims Unit,” now in its 20th season, is the
longest-running primetime drama currently on television. This
hard-hitting and emotional series from NBC’s “Law & Order” brand
chronicles the lives of the Special Victims Unit of the New York City
Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate crimes
of sexual assault, child abuse and domestic violence.
As
acting commander of the SVU, Lt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is a
seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all. She leads with empathy
and professionalism, all the while dealing with her difficult past as a
product of rape and her future as mother to a young child, both of
which influence the way she relates to the victims and perpetrators of
each case.
Hargitay has garnered
eight Emmy Award nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series and won
in 2006. She received two Golden Globe nominations for Lead Actress in a
Drama Series, winning the award in 2005, and six SAG nominations for
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. She has won
four Gracie Allen Awards for Outstanding Female Lead in 2004, 2009,
2014 and 2017, and in 2018 received the Crystal Nymph Award at the Monte
Carlo TV Festival. In 2013, she was honored with a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As Benson’s
second-in-command, Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola (Ice T) adds a unique sense
of humor and undercover investigative experience, making him a
formidable match for any partner. Det. Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish)
has earned her place as an integral part of the team while facing
head-on the emotional toll it takes to work SVU, and Det. Dominick
“Sonny” Carisi (Peter Scanavino) brings a fresh outlook and distinctive
style of investigation to the squad. Assistant District Attorney Peter
Stone (Philip Winchester) joins the SVU from Chicago’s homicide division
with a passion to learn from the best and honor his father’s legacy.
“SVU”
is frequently acknowledged for its guest players, with Emmy wins for
Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Ann-Margret (2010),
Ellen Burstyn (2009), Cynthia Nixon (2008), Leslie Caron (2007) and

2012. Fourteen episodes of “SVU” were nominated for the Prism Award and

Media Awards for outstanding representation of the LGBTQ community, and
