Law & Order: SVU Star Kelli Giddish Discusses Season 28 and Rollins’ Role Kelli Giddish, who portrays Sergeant Amanda Rollins on Law & Order: SVU, has shared insights about her character’s development as the show prepares for its 28th season, set to premiere on NBC in the fall of 2026. Giddish acknowledged that Rollins, who has been a central figure in the series, is now in a more stable position following her marriage to ADA Sonny Carisi, played by Peter Scanavino. She described the relationship as a source of grounding for Rollins, emphasizing that it represents a rare sense of stability for a character who has often navigated turbulent personal and professional challenges. Giddish highlighted how the marriage has provided Rollins with a sense of security and emotional support, which she believes has helped the character grow. “She gets to be loved. She gets to be grounded,” Giddish said. “She gets to have something that she’s never had. She didn’t grow up with stability, so it’s beautiful. It’s a beautiful thing.” She noted that while the show does not always depict the full extent of Rollins’ personal life, the presence of her family and the support of her colleagues in the squad room have been crucial to her character’s development. For Season 28, Giddish expressed hope that the series will delve deeper into Rollins’ leadership role and how her newfound stability influences her interactions with the other detectives. She is particularly interested in exploring how Rollins’ groundedness translates into her professional responsibilities, such as maintaining order within the squad and balancing her personal life with her demanding job.#mariska_hargitay #kelli_giddish #law_order_sv #amanda_rollins #sonny_carisi
