Synopsis
This hard-hitting and emotional series from the 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.
The drama follows Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all, and his partner, Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), whose difficult past - a product of rape - is the reason she joined the unit.
Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) oversees the unit with his tough but supportive approach to the team's complex cases, guiding the squad through the challenges they face every day.
Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer), a transfer from Baltimore's 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 humour and investigative experience, making him a formidable match for Munch.
Assistant District Attorney Casey Novak (Diane Neal) brings closure to the intense investigations with her legal expertise.
Forensic psychiatrist, George Huang (B.D. Wong), has insight into the minds of the accused often provides significant clues that lead to the resolution of a case, and Medical Examiner Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) lends her skills to uncover forensic evidence.
