We Finally Know When Rollins Will Be Back On Law & Order: SVU

Based on latest "SVU" promo, Kelli Giddish will be back for next week's episode, which is called "Eighteen Wheels a Predator." Rollins will return on April 14, 2022.

The episode description for "Eighteen Wheels a Predator" reads: "Rollins and Fin investigate an assault in Kentucky that has striking similarities to victim found in Central Park. Benson receives intel that turns the case upside down." The promo, which can be viewed on YouTube, confirms that Rollins and Detective Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) will be working together to bring down the latest perpetrator, a serial assaulter who makes taunting phone calls after committing his crimes. The promo doesn't confirm whether Carisi will be back yet, but since he doesn't necessarily appear in each episode of "SVU," he could well be back in the city working on other matters.

Neither Giddish nor NBC have explained why she took a brief hiatus, but again, Giddish taking a break is nothing new. For now, it appears Giddish will be part of the show for the foreseeable future.
