LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Scoop: Molly Burnett to Recur

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT is expanding its season 24 cast: Molly Burnett has joined the long-running drama as a new detective, Give Me My Remote has learned.

Burnett—who has signed on as a recurring guest star—will play Detective Grace Muncy. Notably, SVU’s Captain Benson (Mariska Hargitay) has mentioned in the past how short-staffed the precinct is, which has led to cops from other units coming in to help.

This marks Burnett’s third Dick Wolf-produced series this year, after guest spots in recent episodes of CHICAGO P.D. and FBI: MOST WANTED. Her other TV credits include DAYS OF OUR LIVES, QUEEN OF THE SOUTH, and GENERAL HOSPITAL.

Burnett teased her excitement about the show on Instagram, posting, “New show, new character, new hair 🥰💫 LFG.”

Update (Tuesday, July 26, 3:46 PM PT): Hargitay also posted a photo with Burnett and the rest of the SVU cast on location.
