Mariska Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on NBC’s “Law & Order: SVU,” posts images from the show’s set that tease a return from Christopher Meloni, who plays Detective Elliot Stabler. On Tuesday, Hargitay shared two Instagram photos featuring herself and Meloni on set, indicating they reunite at least for an upcoming episode.
Both outlets frame the tease in the context of the series’ current run as it approaches a major milestone. Deadline notes that “SVU” marks its 600th episode, while Variety describes the reunion as likely limited to a single installment. Neither outlet reports additional plot details, the episode number, or whether Meloni’s appearance is connected to a broader return beyond the teased filming. The information comes from Hargitay’s social media posts rather than an official network announcement.
