Return of Gwen Munch

If you've followed the various crime dramas over the years, you may remember that Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer), also was a character on Homicide: Life on the Streets. I have to admit I did not. Regardless, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit executive producer Neal Baer has announced that Munch and his ex-wife, Gwen, will appear together for the first time in a dozen years. Carol Kane originally played Gwen and will guest star. The reunion is part of SVU's season finale, "Zebra," airing June 2 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on NBC and CTV.

In "Zebras," a young woman is killed in Central Park, and when a clerical error ruins the case, the police rush to find more evidence before the killer takes revenge on the squad.

"We're thrilled to have Gwen Munch return to her true love, Detective John Munch, to help lead him to a deranged killer (Nick Stahl) who is after a member of the SVU family," said Baer.

Stahl will guest star as Peter Harrison, "a once promising young artist who is now lost in the paranoia of mental illness. Fearing SVU Detectives are persecuting him, he turns on them after he may have murdered an innocent young mother."
