Christopher Meloni Opens Up About the “Depth” of His Friendship with Mariska Hargitay (Exclusive)
Benson and Stabler are back together.
Christopher Meloni teased his possible return to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit by showcasing a series of snaps of him and onscreen love interest Mariska Hargitay on the set of the NBC series
Meloni—who portrayed Detective Elliot Stabler for 12 seasons alongside Hargitay’s Captain Olivia Benson before he left the crime drama in 2011—cozied up to his former costar in a series of Aug. 2 Instagram photos, writing, “Hangin with friends on a Friday nite.”
In one sweet snapshot from on set, Meloni and Hargitay flashed smiles in their cop uniforms as the actress, 61, hugged the 64-year-old.
Another pic also included SVU alum Dann Florek, who officially exited the procedural as Capt. Donald Cragen in 2015.
And while this isn’t the first time Meloni—who now stars on Peacock’s spinoff Law & Order: Organized Crime—has reunited with Hargitay on screen since his exit, fans were shocked by the possible return of Florek on the NBC series’ upcoming 27th season.
