NBC canceled an SVU episode featuring Timothy Busfield after his arrest on child abuse charges.

NBC has canceled the January 15, 2026, airing of a Law & Order: SVU episode titled “Corrosive” featuring actor Timothy Busfield, following his arrest on charges of child abuse and criminal sexual contact of a minor. The allegations stem from incidents on the set of Fox’s The Cleaning Lady between 2022 and 2023, involving twin child actors. An arrest warrant was issued in New Mexico, and U.S. Marshals are assisting in his apprehension. The episode has been replaced with “Fidelis Ad Mortem,” scheduled for January 22. NBC has not confirmed whether “Corrosive” will air later or be scrapped. Busfield, a veteran actor and director with ties to the Law & Order franchise, faces serious allegations, though he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
