“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” showrunner David Graziano caught up with The Wrap before the premiere of Season 24, and he gave some interesting insight into Olivia Benson’s storyline. When the outlet asked if Benson would still be mulling over retirement in Season 24, the answer from Graziano was clear. “No. She’s moving into a new phase of her career,” the showrunner noted.

Benson stans can breathe easy knowing their favorite captain isn’t retiring anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean things will be easy for her in Season 24. “She’s absorbed a lot of trauma, not just her own just, but [from] other people,” Graziano noted. “What must it be like to go to work every day and see the darkest parts of humanity [evident] in front of you and have to confront that?” The new showrunner also noted he met with Mariska Hargitay before filming, and it was decided that Benson’s Season 24 story would be about her finding peace among the trauma that has plagued her for so long.

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” Season 24 premieres on September 22 at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC as a part of the special three-hour crossover event.
