“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (SVU), the longest-running Law & Order series, is poised to make history with significant changes in its upcoming 27th season. Michele Fazekas, known for her work on “The Boys” spin-off “Gen V,” is set to become the first female showrunner in the show’s history.
This announcement follows a period of uncertainty regarding the series’ renewal. While NBC has been deliberate with its 2024–2025 season renewals, expectations are high for SVU’s continuation.
The transition to Fazekas as showrunner marks a significant shift for SVU, which has experienced multiple showrunner changes over its long tenure. David Graziano currently holds the position, but Michele Fazekas will step into the role for the expected 27th season.
As SVU approaches its 27th season, fans can anticipate fresh perspectives and storytelling under Fazekas’s leadership, ensuring the series continues to evolve while honoring its legacy.
