Spoilers for Season 23 Episode 1 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

This season will feature more riveting cases and exciting story arcs, keeping with the show’s police procedural core.

The unit officers’ loyalty, on the other hand, will be tested by putting them in hazardous situations.

The season pilot’s title, ‘And The Empire Strikes Back,’ is a not-so-subtle nod to the tale of the same name, but the parallels between the two franchise universes will be maintained to a symbolic level.

Benson will be investigating a sex-for-housing fraud in the first episode.

His own loyalties will be put to the test in the process. A powerful member of Congress will be the subject of claims and suspicions in another plotline, and Rollins and Carisi will have to do everything they can to keep a vital witness safe.

There will be some crossovers, with Stabler and Benson facing battle in a much-anticipated showdown, although the crossover will most likely happen later.

With the 500th episode of the series about to air this season, fans can expect many unexpected twists and turns.

Who is in the cast of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 23?

Other notable cast members include Kelli Giddish (Detective Amanda Rollins), Ice-T (Sergeant Odafin Tutuola), & Peter Scanavino (Sergeant Odafin Tutuola) (ADA Dominick Carisi, Jr.).

In other news, Demore Barnes (Deputy Chief Christian Garland) & Jamie Gray Hyder (Detective Katriona Tamin) will only make cameo appearances in the first episode.
