After finally getting a child on Law and Order SVU at the end of Season 15, what can Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) expect for the next year?

Is Olivia Benson's Nightmare Continuing?

"Benson has a very big, life-changing event take place for her, which I think is gonna last for a while," Raul Esparza (A.D.A. Rafael Barba) told Access Hollywood before the season ended. "She might make some choices that are really gonna change her life."

According to TV Guide, Benson's trip into motherhood isn't off to a very smooth start. Reportedly, Benson's bonding time is interrupted because of the investigation into who really killed Benson's baby's biological mother. This case will be putting Benson and her baby, Noah, into harm's way. But, Benson can count on a long time friend for help.

Is Donal Logue Staying On Law And Order SVU?

Law and Order SVU is already underway filming Season 16. According to the writer's official Twitter site, they just finished episode 1 currently titled Girls Disappeared. Ice-T (Det. Tutuola) said he's pretty much kept in the dark about any plotlines until they film the episodes. "People always ask me, 'What's going to happen to your character?' I'm like, 'I don't know! About 10 days before you see it, [is when] I know."

Another person not so sure of their fate is Amaro (Danny Pino). "Season 16 does not start him off on the SVU squad," showrunner Warren Leight told TV Guide about Amaro's fate. "He's been sent to the bowels of Queens to do traffic stops."

The premiere of Law and Order SVU will be on September 24 at 9 p.m. after The Mysteries of Laura.
