The thirteenth season of the police procedural drama series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit premiered on NBC on September 21, 2011 and concluded on May 23, 2012. The season consists of 23 episodes. This season differed greatly from previous seasons, with mostly new writers, a new showrunner, and brighter lighting. It was also notable for being the first season not to include Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, the first season to include Kelli Giddish as Amanda Rollins and Danny Pino as Nick Amaro as well as the first season to feature Warren Leight as showrunner and the last season to include Diane Neal as Casey Novak. This was also the first season in which SVU was broadcast without any other running U.S. Law & Order franchise show. This lasted until Season 19 when Law & Order True Crime premiered.
