New Casting for SVU
It's hard to imagine Law & Order: SVU without Mariska Hargitay. Luckily we won't have to … at least for one more season. According to Hypable, Mariska has signed on for one more year, but with a much smaller role in Season 13, and with plans to phase out even more. Her character, Olivia, will soon get promoted and become a supervisor. The show is now looking for a new female lead to replace her. Rumor has Jennifer Love Hewitt as the leading contender. She did a great job guest-starring in Season 12 — I wonder if they' have her back as the same character she played (a repeat victim of a serial rapist) or create a new police-detective character for her?
Thanks to SVU fan and award-winning crime writer David Delee for letting me know about this!
