‘Law & Order: SVU’ Brings Back Stephanie March as Alexandra Cabot in Season 28

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” favorite Stephanie March will return to the procedural as Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot. March has appeared in over 100 episodes of “SVU” as the ADA. She will join Season 28 for the ninth episode, which is set to air Dec. 3. She was a series regular on “SVU” from Season 2 through 4 and early in Season 5. March has since had a recurring role and guest star appearances on the legal drama. The last time March appeared on the procedural was Season 19 in 2018. Her character Alex had her own spinoff “Conviction,” in which she mentored a young group of ADAs. The spinoff ran for just one season. The actress is also known for her performance in Ricky Gervais’ “The Invention of Lying,” indie drama “Who We Are Now” and mockumentary “The Social Ones.” March is repped by Paradigm and Navigation Media Group. “SVU” Season 28 premiered on Oct. 8 up 21% from its prior season in the 18 to 49 demographic. Mariska Hargitay leads the cast with Ice T, Peter Scanavino, Kelli Giddish, Kevin Kane, Aimé Donna Kelly and Corey Cott also starring. This comes on the heels of Mariska Hargitay hosting the Emmy Awards incorporating many “SVU” elements into the show, including a sketch with “Law & Order” super fan Taylor Swift. New York Knicks MVP Jalen Brunson has also been announced to guest star in Season 28. He will join the season’s fifth episode, which is scheduled to air on Nov. 5. Details on his role are being kept under wraps. The NBA star player also joined Hargitay for a bit during the 78th Emmy Awards. Hargitay executive produces “SVU” alongside creator Dick Wolf, Michelle Fazekas, Kenneth Brown, Rebeccca McGill, Anastasia Puglisi and Peter Jankowski. The longrunning drama series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment. “Law & Order: SVU” airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and next day on Peacock.
