In January, TV Guide reported that due to much success, SVU, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. would be partnering up again for another crossover event.

Show runner for Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. Matt Olmstead traveled to New York to meet with executive producer Warren Leight and he gave fans a little insight into the crossover event.

"There's a Ted Bundy-esque character who hunted in New York and hunted in Chicago, and it's the pursuit of a character like that," he teased.

While the details have yet to be set in stone, fans can expect to see another collaboration in the very near future.

Law and Order: SVU airs every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. on NBC. Viewers can watch a sneak peek of Wednesday night's new episode Intimidation Game in the video below.
