This past weekend, Law and Order: SVU fans were thankful an early Christmas gift; an SVU marathon on USA.

After airing the enticing new Ray Rice ripped from the headlines episode, Law and Order: SVU went on hiatus leaving fans anxiously sitting on the edge of their seats as they await the arrival of the brand new episode.

While the new episode isn't scheduled to air until Wednesday Dec. 10th, viewers may be getting another surprise. If you love everything Law and Order, then this surprise is for you.

According to USA's schedule, on Sunday Dec. 7 viewers will get the chance to watch 11 hours of SVU, which will feature some of the newer episodes. Despite the fact that viewers are very anxious to see where the season left off, this marathon is just what fans need to keep their mind off of the wait.

Luckily, the new episode of SVU is only a short week away and fans will only get more surprises.

In the new episode, entitled 'Pattern Seventeen,' the SVU team must race against the clock to find a predator who may strike again. In addition to watching the members of the special victims unit tackle tough cases, viewers learn that Detective Olivia Benson may be becoming a mom as well.
