LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: Kelli Giddish to Return for Additional Season 25 Episode

Kelli Giddish will be reprising her role of Amanda Rollins for one more episode of season 25, Give Me My Remote has confirmed. (It is set to be episode 11.)

Giddish starred on the long-running drama as Amanda Rollins from 2011-2022. Rollins exited SVU by eloping with Carisi (Peter Scanavino) and leaving the NYPD to pursue teaching, returning in three-part SVU-ORGANIZED CRIME season finale as OC’s Stabler (Christopher Meloni) recruited the professor to help profile a possible suspect behind a revenge-for-hire plot.

Giddish most recently appeared on SVU in the season 25 premiere as Rollins and Carisi celebrated their son’s baptism—and Rollins gave Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) a little help with a profile.

“Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” Giddish said in a statement when her exit was announced in 2022. “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.”

Deadline was first to report Giddish’s return.
