Law & Order: SVU will see some noticeable changes after season 26, as two actors are leaving the show.

Octavio Pisano and Juliana Martinez will not be returning as series regulars should the NBC show be picked up for a 27th season. While it has not been renewed yet, it is expected to be soon.

Octavio, 38, has been on the long-running show since season 23, portraying former undercover detective Joe Velasco.

Juliana, 34, is the newest face on the show, joining the Special Victims Unit as Detective Kate Silva, who was a homicide detective in the Brooklyn Homicide Unit before becoming a member of Captain Olivia Benson's squad.

The current season will air its final episode on May 15, and while there is no news yet about a renewal, it was announced in April that former series writer and co-executive producer, Michele Fazekas, will become the first female showrunner in the show's history.

Before she joined the show in October 2024, Juliana shared her excitement about working with her new co-stars.

"I have a journal that I'm collecting of Ice-T quotes, just that I write in every day. If you see him on Instagram, he's dropping gems, but it's 10 times that on set," she told People.
