Much like the rest of NBC's prime time line-up, "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" will be taking a break while NBC broadcasts the 2022 Winter Olympics. Per a tweet from the official Wolf Entertainment Twitter, the ongoing series, as well as "Law and Order: Organized Crime" will return to the airwaves once the games wrap. That means a new episode of "SVU" won't air on Thursday, February 3, nor at any time over the ensuing two-week period, per the official Olympics site.
In fact, viewers will have to wait just a little longer after the closing ceremonies to catch some more of the cases Benson, Fin (Ice-T), Rollins, and the other detectives. In a previously-released official NBC promo (via YouTube), audiences are told "SVU" will return on Thursday, February 24. The schedule on NBC's official site also says NBC will begin airing live footage of the Olympic Games on February 3, in the 9 p.m. ET timeslot regularly occupied by "SVU."
Fans of "SVU" might have to do a bit of waiting, but before the winter's over they'll be reunited with their favorite officers. Catch up on Season 23 by streaming all the previously released episodes on Hulu.
