Kelli Giddish is apparently returning to her old stomping grounds.
The 43-year-old will be reprising her “Law & Order: SVU” role in the show’s Season 25 premiere, according to TV Line.
Giddish played Detective Amanda Rollins until her departure in August 2022.
Her longtime co-star Mariska Hargitay — who plays Olivia Benson on the NBC legal drama — teased fans with Giddish’s return on Tuesday.
The 59-year-old shared an Instagram video of herself dancing with her pal.
“Back with my lil boo thang,” Hargitay captioned the clip.
Fans were extremely excited to learn that Giddish was coming back.
“You truly don’t understand how HAPPY fans are with Kelli being back! We love her and Rollins so much!!!! Also love #rolivia and happy you are back with your #workwife,” a person gushed in the comments section.
A second viewer interjected: “Mariska PLEASE KEEP HER FOR THE WHOLE SEASON.”
“OH MMY GAWD!! I literally screamed so loud my whole neighborhood probably thought I hurt myself. Yes!! This is so exciting!!!” a third exclaimed.
Giddish exited halfway through Season 24 and made a cameo in the season finale.
The episode, which aired in May, was part of a crossover event with shows “Law & Order” and “Organized Crime.”
In her scene, Giddish’s character married ADA Sonny Carisi Jr (Peter Scanavino) and revealed that she was pregnant.
In reality, the “All My Children” alum was also actually expecting her third child. She welcomed son Oldie Richards in June.
“Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life,” she shared on social media at the time when announcing her exit.
“I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of the ‘Law & Order’ family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins.”
“She’s grown and changed, and I have as well. I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I’m grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life,” she added.
The Dick Wolf-created show began production on Monday after a six-month hiatus due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
“Law & Order: SVU” returns on NBC on Thursday, Jan. 18.
