NBC's Law & Order SVU will be kicking off its 15th season in just a couple weeks, as photos for the upcoming premiere have now been posted on the web.

The images, which hint at the hostage situation that Benson (Mariska Hargitay) will continue enduring at the hands of Lewis (Pablo Schreiber), can be viewed here.

The crime drama is set to pick up where it left off, with Benson in a life threatening situation at gunpoint. Her predicament will undoubtedly serve to stir up conflict at the precinct.

Executive producer of the program, Warren Leight, touched on Benson's less than ideal situation with Entertainment Weekly, stating that the danger she's in has ignited a large degree of regret amongst her fellow law enforcement members.

"I would say almost all the people on the squad have a degree of guilt about Lewis getting off. If he had been able to get the conviction on Lewis...they all feel like if they could have done something differently, this wouldn't have happened," he said.

Law & Order: SVU is slated to make its return on Wed., Sept. 25 at 9/8 p.m. Central Standard Time. Be sure to check back for more of the latest information on the popular program.
