Law & Order SVU Season 16 premiere, updates: Olivia focuses on being a new mom, Peter Gallagher joins the long-running crime and drama series

Law & Order SVU Season 16 premiere airs on September 24, and it looks like Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) won't have it easy.

Law & Order SVU Season 16 spoilers leaked online revealed that while Detective Benson won't have a love life drama, she will face the challenge of being a new mom to her son Noah.  Fans of the long-running series need to stay tuned as Benson might have to deal with situations that put Noah in danger - a nightmare for any mother.

"Last year, she took enormous risks in her pursuit of William Lewis; from now on, she's aware there's an infant at home entirely dependent on her," said Law & Order SVU Season 16 showrunner Warren Leight.

Plus, Peter Gallagher (American Beauty, The O.C., While You Were Sleeping) joins the Law & Order SVU Season 16 cast with a recurring role as the tough but charismatic Deputy Chief William Dodds, who will be the boss of Special Victims Units across new York. He will also be Benson's boss.

Created by Dick Wolf, Law and Order SVU first aired in 1999 as a spinoff of the series, Law & Order.

Stay tuned for more Law & Order SVU Season 16 updates.
