The Law & Order: SVU Season 26 finale date has yet to be announced, but new episodes return on Thursday, May 1, with the 20th of the season. In “Shock Collar,” when a car with a young girl in the backseat is stolen, the SVU investigates whether it was a crime of opportunity or a targeted abduction.

Both “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: SVU” have been renewed at NBC for the 2025-2026 broadcast season, Variety has learned.

Wolf Entertainment’s slate of NBC series will remain intact. Days after the network renewed the company’s three Chicago dramas, it has done the same for the two Law & Order ones, Law & Order: SVU and the mothership series.
