It’s been very nearly a full decade since audiences were last able to watch Elliot Stabler solve crimes with his bestie and partner, Olivia Benson, on Law & Order: SVU.
Now, Meloni has revealed why he was “intrigued” to revisit Sabler after all of these years.
But, for roughly the past year, we’ve been looking forward to just that: Stabler’s coming back to SVU, and is also getting his own spinoff, Law & Order: Organized Crime.
And while fans of the character, and Christopher Meloni fans, had long hoped for Stabler to return in some way, it also didn’t seem like there was much real hope of that ever happening.
