“Law & Order: SVU” Alum Stephanie March Weighs in on a Potential Return to the Series: ‘Never Say Never’ (Exclusive)

Stephanie March, known for her role as Alexandra “Alex” Cabot on Law & Order: SVU, recently shared her thoughts on the possibility of returning to the hit series. The actress, who portrayed the Assistant District Attorney for four seasons and made appearances in more episodes, expressed her openness to reprising her character during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the City Harvest Presents The 2025 Gala: Carnaval in New York City.

March, 50, revealed that she hasn’t closed the door on returning to the show if the storyline aligns with her character. She mentioned, “I think it would depend on the story, but they’ve got some good writers. Never say never, right?” The actress also hinted that fan support could play a significant role in such a decision, suggesting, “I guess if people still write, you could do a write-in campaign. That would be my only suggestion.”

Despite the uncertain future of her character, March shared that she remains in touch with her former SVU castmates regularly. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect with co-stars like Chris Meloni, Mariska Hargitay, and BD Wong, regardless of her character’s presence on the show. March emphasised her wish for all her former colleagues to continue thriving in the industry, stating, “I just hope they keep their jobs like the rest of us. That’s the most you can hope for any actor right now. Just keep … our jobs.”

Delving into how her SVU experience influenced her real-life pursuits, March disclosed that her involvement with the Panzi Foundation, aiding survivors of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, stemmed partially from an episode she worked on. Reflecting on her time on the show, she recounted a poignant season 11 episode titled “Witness” that resonated with her deeply, shaping her subsequent advocacy work.

The actress underscored the impact of the show’s themes on her personal life, noting, “I became quite deliberate in my choices of how I wanted to participate and how I wanted to use my voice.” March expressed gratitude for finding platforms where her interests and activism intersect, describing her commitment to such causes as compelling and essential.
