Law & Order: SVU season premiere to explore Robert Durst case

When Law & Order: SVU returns this fall, it will explore a fictionalized account of the Robert Durst case.

The above promo for the season 17 opener has all the hallmarks as seen in HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst: A wealthy New Yorker suspected of multiple crimes, and, most importantly, a confession made by the killer when he thought no one was listening. 

“This is the one America will be talking about,” the promo promises. “Again.”

Law & Order: SVU‘s two-hour premiere kicks off Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
