e.tv Is Reviving It's International Drama Slate With The Launch Of Law And Order: Special Victims Unit

Following the rollout of eVOD, eMedia Investments restructured e.tv's primetime schedule a few years back making shows like Chicago PD and Kingdom available to only Openview consumers. While e.tv bolstered it's lineup to feature more local content.

The shift away from international drama series was done to ensure e.tv remained competitive in an era dominated by streaming. And while the move was met with positive feedback some viewers kind of felt marginalized.

After 4 years, e.tv will be reinstating them with Law And Order: Special Victims Unit set to rollout weeknights at 23:00. The series is currently seen on Universal TV on DStv and eSeries on Openview.

This move would give DStv Access and Easyview consumers the chance to watch the crime drama from the first season. In general, Law And Order: Special Victims Unit has 27 seasons so far and over 590 episodes had been produced.

Synopsis for Law And Order: Special Victims Unit 

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often shortened to Law & Order: SVU) is an American police procedural crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf for NBC. The first spin-off of Law & Order, expanding it into the Law & Order franchise, it originally starred Christopher Meloni as Detective Elliot Stabler (until Meloni left the series in 2011 after 12 seasons) and Mariska Hargitay as Detective (now promoted to Captain) Olivia Benson remaining the longest starring character in the series. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit follows the detectives of the Special Victims Unit as they investigate and prosecute sex-based crimes. Some of the episodes are loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention.

Based out of the New York City Police Department's 16th precinct in Manhattan, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit delves into the dark side of the New York underworld as the detectives of a new elite squad, the Special Victims Unit, investigate and prosecute various sexually oriented crimes, including rape, child sexual abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence. They also investigate the abuses of children, the disabled and elderly victims of non-sexual crimes who require specialist handling, all while trying to balance the effects of the investigation on their own lives as they try not to let the dark side of these crimes affect them.
