‘That’s My Dream’: Chicago Fire Star Pitches Crossover With Law & Order: SVU Fan Favorite

One Chicago Fire cast member is ready for a new crossover with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The two Dick Wolf-created shows last crossed over more than a decade ago, during the 2014–15 television season.

Jocelyn Hudon, who has portrayed paramedic Lizzie Novak in Chicago Fire since Season 12, was recently asked by Screen Rant which character from the Dick Wolf Universe she would like to see Novak cross paths with. “I want her to work with Olivia Benson [from] Law & Order: SVU,” she answered. “That’s my dream. I have a picture of her in my trailer. I love Law & Order: SVU and I think it would be really great for Novak and Benson to somehow interact. I could die happy. I would love to be like, ‘This is what happened!’ and she’d be like, ‘I’ll take it from here,’ and I’d be like, ‘Great!’”

Hudon’s dream crossover isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility, considering that both Chicago Fire and Law & Order: SVU were renewed earlier this month for their 14th and 27th seasons, respectively. Also returning for the 2025–26 television season are the programs’ sister shows Chicago P.D. (Season 13), Chicago Med (Season 11), and Law & Order (Season 25). However, potentially standing in the way of a Chicago Fire/Law & Order: SVU crossover is the fact that the two franchises haven’t crossed over in almost seven years. The last crossover was in 2018, with Carl Weathers’ State’s Attorney Mark Jefferies from Chicago Justice swinging by SVU for a guest appearance in the Season 20 episode “Zero Tolerance.”

Changes Are Coming to Law & Order: SVU

Law & Order: SVU Season 27 will come with some noticeable changes both in front and behind the camera. Michele Fazekas has closed a deal to become the first female showrunner for SVU, beginning with Season 27, while actors Juliana Martinez and Octavio Pisano re not returning, with the Season 26 finale serving as their final episode as series regulars. Martinez joined the SVU cast this past season as Detective Kate Silva, while Pisano had been with the drama series since Season 23 as undercover detective Joe Velasco

is hoping to one day be part of his own multi-show crossover. The actor even went so far as to pitch his dream crossover back in March, revealing that he’d want the worlds of 9-1-1 and The Rookie to come together.

Chicago Fire and Law & Order: SVU will return next season on NBC.
