What this means, of course, is that after almost a decade without the character, fans will finally get to see Meloni reunite on screen with his good friend and former co-star, Mariska Hargitay, who’s made SVU’s Olivia Benson one of the longest-running characters on television.
Meloni and Hargitay are no strangers to mingling off camera, and he’s now talking about how “inextricably linked” they are.
We’ve known for a few months now that Christopher Meloni will be heading back to his old stomping grounds as Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVU when the record-breaking hit returns for Season 22 sometime this fall.
