Warning: spoilers are ahead for the latest episode of NBC's Law & Order Season 25 in the 2026 TV schedule, called “Bright Lights” and available streaming now with a Peacock subscription.
Rarely does an episode of Law & Order or Law & Order: SVU air without a guest star or two who already has at least one credit within the same franchise, with a very long list of returnees that even includes series regulars like Tony Goldwyn and Kelli Giddish. As somebody who has watched more episodes in the franchise than I care to count, I always enjoy when I recognize somebody from another Law & Order entry. This week, one guest debuted her sixth Law & Order character, but I found myself recognizing her from another show set within the Dick Wolf world.
