Following his five-season run on NBC’s New Amsterdam, Ryan Eggold is returning to the network for a guest role on Law & Order. Also set for guest-starring roles are Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay and SVU alum Elizabeth Marvel.
Hargitay will guest star as SVU’s Captain Olivia Benson and Marvel will reprise her SVU role as Defense Attorney Rita Calhoun. Both will appear in the same episode in October. In a separate episode, Eggold will play Matt Riley, the brother of Det. Vince Riley, played by series regular Reid Scott.
They join ER alumna Maura Tierney who is set as a new series regular for the upcoming 24th season following the departure of Camryn Manheim.
Law & Order is a police procedural and legal drama that gives viewers a look at a case-inspired by real-life crimes “ripped from the headlines”- from the POV of the police and the prosecutors. It’s the longest-running law enforcement series on TV.
Dick Wolf is creator and executive producer. Rick Eid, Pamela Wechsler, Alex Hall, Arthur Forney and Peter Jankowski are executive producers. Law & Order is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment.
Eggold starred as the lead of NBC’s series New Amsterdam for its five-season run, and prior to that starred in NBC’s The Blacklist franchise. He can next be seen in Cross for Amazon, based on the popular book series by James Paterson. Films include Tyler Perry’s A Jazzman’s Blues, Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always and Spike Lee’s Blackkklansman.
Marvel has played Calhoun in 15 SVU episodes, from 2010-2021. She was most recently seen on Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent, as Lorraine Horgan, the wife of former District Attorney Raymond Horgan.
