Netflix viewers have discovered they only have days left to watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit before it is removed from the streamer. 

The Law and Order spin-off first aired in 1999 and its mammoth 26th season premiered back in October. 

UK fans were delighted last year when it dropped it on Netflix so they could get their fix – but only five series were made available to watch. 

Now one year on, disappointed fans have found out the show will be leaving the streamer completely on February 14. 

Once the show is off Netflix, fans will have to rely on Prime Video and Apple TV to watch the seasons – though they’ll have to pay for them. 

Fans took to social media to share their shock at the show’s departure, with one viewer even describing it as their ‘lifeline’.

‘I saw on tiktok that they were removing it from Netflix and I’m so gutted,’; ‘I JUST started watching in December i think it was… pretty disappointed.’

Meanwhile on X, formerly Twitter, other viewers raged: ‘Law and Order SVU is leaving Netflix? C’mon now!’;

‘The greatest ongoing show of ALL TIME is Law & Order: SVU & Organize Crime. Olivia & Stabler are absolutely beautiful, impeccable & full of fire for justice. Truly two of the greatest characters ever in showing history,’;

The show’s star Mariska Hargitay is gearing up for a reunion with her old partner, it was revealed in October.

The 60-year-old actress — who has played Detective Olivia Benson for a quarter of a century — will once again join her former SVU costar Christopher Meloni when she appears on his own spin-off series, Law & Order: Organized Crime.

Christopher — who plays Detective Elliot Stabler on both shows — confirmed the highly anticipated guest spot while revealing that he was writing the episode she would be featured in, according to People.

The development follows the announcement earlier this year that Organized Crime had been renewed for a fifth season following a delay that left fans worried about its fate.

The show will be moving to the Peacock streaming service for the upcoming season, and it will be receiving a shortened 10-episode order.

Christopher shared that he will be writing the second episode of the upcoming season.

Meanwhile on X, formerly Twitter, other viewers raged: ‘Law and Order SVU is leaving Netflix? C’mon now!’

He called the project ‘awesome,’ but added, ‘It’s responsibility so I don’t want to mess it up.

When asked about the possibility of a repeat SVU cameo, he stayed mum, but he did delight fans by revealing that Hargitay would be appearing in the same episode that he was writing.

‘I know [Olivia] Benson will be with OC for a moment there,’ he said.

But the Wet H๏τ American Summer actor was less forthcoming when ask what the new adventure for Olivia and Elliot would entail.
