Is there a more reliable show than Law & Order: SVU? It’s the longest-running live action show in U.S. history, and it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. NBC has renewed Law & Order: SVU for a record setting 25th season, which makes it the rare spin-off to be longer than the original, but fans will have to wait quite a while before they get it.

The writers and actors strike have put a halt to everything being made in Hollywood, and with no one to work on scripts for the upcoming season, NBC has decided to push Law & Order: SVU back. It was originally scheduled to air in September 2023, but now it’s looking like it will drop sometime in 2024.

When is Law & Order: SVU season 25 coming out? (Release date predictions)

The problem is, when in 2024 is still unclear. January would be the obvious best case scenario, as fans would have to wait the least amount of time, and still be able to get a half season worth of new episodes (January marks the mid-season for fall programming). The problem is, the strikes would have to be resolved very soon for a January premiere date to be realistic.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or the AMPTP, did recently issued a counterproposal to both the writers and actors guild. The writers guild have not yet revealed whether they will accept the counterproposal, but they did issue an official statement to CBS.

“Sometimes more progress can be made in negotiations when they are conducted without a blow-by-blow description of the moves on each side and a subsequent public dissection of the meaning of the moves,” the statement read. “That will be our approach, at least for the time being, until there is something of significance to report, or unless management uses the media or industry surrogates to try to influence the narrative.”

We’re hopeful that an agreement can be reached sooner rather than later, so that shows like Law & Order: SVU will be able to resume production, and the people who work on them can be paid a  fair wage.
