"In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."
 
This hard-hitting and emotional series from NBCs Law & Order brand chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department, the elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes. Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been picked up for its thirteenth season. Combined with Law & Order -- the second longest-running drama series in the history of television --, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order: Trial by Jury the "Law & Order" franchise reached its 900th episode in the summer of 2010.
 
The drama follows Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), whose difficult past -- a product of rape -- is the reason she joined the unit. Sergeant John Munch, (Richard Belzer, reprising his role from Homicide: Life on the Street), a transfer from Baltimores homicide unit, brings his acerbic wit, conspiracy theories and street-honed investigative skills to the team. And his partner, Detective Odafin Fin Tutuola (Ice-T), adds his unique sense of humor and investigative experience, making him a formidable match for Munch. Also joining them in season 13 are Detective Nick Amaro (Danny Pino) and Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish).
 
In 2005, Hargitay (Detective Benson) garnered her first Golden Globe award for Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Detective Benson and her second Emmy Nomination; and in 2004, both an Emmy and a Screen Actors Guild nomination in the same category. The series popularity was recognized in its debut season September 21, 2004 by both the Peoples Choice Awards and the TV Guide Awards with nominations for Favorite New Series.
 
Captain Donald Cragen, (Dann Florek, reprising the role he played on the first three seasons of Law & Order from 1990-93) oversees the unit with his tough but supportive approach to the teams complex cases, guiding the squad through the challenges they face every day. Medical Examiner Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) lends her skills to uncover forensic evidence.
 
Stephanie March and Diane Neal will re-join the show as A.D.A.'s Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak. They are joined by Linus Roache (reprising his role from Law & Order) as Bureau Chief Michael Cutter.
