Law and Order: Special Victims Unit will be back with a 27th season - and Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson has some familiar faces returning to the squad. "I went on the show to do four episodes, and it just keeps giving," Ice-T, who has been playing Sergeant Odafin "Fin" Tutuola since 2000, told Us Weekly exclusively in June. "Every year we come out; we go through different changes." After SVU season 26 ended in May, some major cast changes were announced (more on that in a second) but that won't stop the cast.
