AceShowbiz - "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is set to return in October with two significant cast changes. Kevin Kane, who has portrayed Detective Terry Bruno in recurring appearances since season 24, has been upgraded to a series regular for season 26.
Kane has made a strong impression on viewers with his portrayal of Bruno, a grizzled cop whose passion keeps him engaged in law enforcement despite his wealth. Bruno's close relationship with Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) has also resonated with fans.
In addition to Kane's promotion, newcomer Juliana Aiden Martinez has joined the cast as a new detective. Martinez's character is still unknown, but she will add depth to the already impressive roster of SVU detectives.
Kane has previously appeared in different roles on "Law & Order", including in seasons 9, 13, 17 and 20. His standout performance in the season 20 episode "Mea Culpa" likely contributed to his promotion.

"Law & Order: SVU" season 26 premieres on October 3 on NBC, following the return of the flagship "Law & Order" series. The show's cast will also include the recently announced Maura Tierney as a new lieutenant.
