Law & Order: SVU Assigns Newest ADA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC,
When Law & Order: SVU resumes next fall, a new ADA will be working to cover Stabler and Benson’s butts.
In the show’s recent finale, controversy - not a faked death - forced Casey Novak out of her job. Her departure means Season 10 will be introducing One Tree Hill‘s Michaela McManus, the latest female (behind Stephanie March and Diane Neal) to fill the role.
Even though SVU also said goodbye to Det. Chester Lake (Adam Beach) this May, NBC currently has no plans to find his replacement.
