Season 13 Is Almost Here!

HEY EVERYONE!

Been awhile. Hope you all are having a great summer. Summer in NYC has been moving right along here at SVU. We've been shooting since late July and have THREE shows completed with a fourth episode prepped and ready to start after Labor Day. (We are taking a quick summer break starting this mid-week.)

Sure you are all aware that this season is going to be different from seasons past. We said goodbye to Chris Meloni, who will be missed; however, he felt it was time to move on, so we wish him well! We did welcome two AMAZING new cast members to the SVU gang: Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish. During the casting process, we thought they were great and looked forward to having them join the team; however, you need to see how OUTSTANDING they have been in the show. Blowing us away! You will not be disappointed.

Here are some exclusive shots of our two new detectives during their photo shoot for the opening credits. Give me your best guess where in NYC we took each of their stills:

Here is an early (maybe the earliest) look at them in action on set with Mariska and Dann Florek. Once the episodes start airing, let me know what episode this still is from:

You can follow and ask questions to them both on twitter: @TheKelliGiddish and @TheDannyPino

In addition to new cast members, we also have a new showrunner: Warren Leight. After reading the first four episodes, you're going to love what we are calling SVU 2.0! And lucky for all of us, he is a twitter user and loves talking to the fans. So if you have any questions and want to directly contact Warren, here is his twitter feed: @warrenleightTV

We are about a month away from all new SVUs so keep checking back weekly because the Production Blog (once again) is up and running! And remember, you can hit me up on twitter as well: @svumac
