SVU Veteran Aimé Donna Kelly Promoted to Series Regular, Joins Benson and Rollins
30 Oct
Summary
- Aimé Donna Kelly promoted to series regular on Law & Order: SVU
- Kelli Giddish returns as Rollins after being cut from main cast
- Benson, Curry, and Rollins lead the revamped SVU team
As Law & Order: SVU approaches its 27th season, the show is undergoing some major cast changes. Aimé Donna Kelly, who plays the unconventional Captain Curry, has been promoted to a series regular after previously appearing as a guest star. This promotion comes as Kelli Giddish returns to the show as a series regular, after being cut from the main cast in Season 24.
The expanded main cast now includes Benson, Curry, and Rollins, who will lead the Special Victims Unit team as they tackle "huge challenges" this season. Kelly, who says she "cried" when she learned of her promotion, is excited to be a permanent part of the iconic franchise. Her character, Captain Curry, holds the same rank as Benson, adding an interesting dynamic to the unit.
With the departure of Velasco and the absence of Kate Silva, the SVU team is undergoing a significant shakeup. However, the addition of Kelly and the return of Giddish suggest that the show is committed to maintaining its strong ensemble cast as it continues its impressive 27-season run.
