Mariska Hargitay had already revealed the return of the show earlier…
Some days back Meloni’s former co-star Mariska Hargitay, who plays Oliva Benson had revealed about SVU return with a screenshot from a virtual table read featuring this cast, writers, and producers. “Well…it happened…,” Hargitay wrote on her Instagram post.
The Showrunner and executive producer of the show Warren Leight posted the same photo on Twitter. “Well, we had a fairly good read-thru,” he wrote, confirming that the virtual reunion was in preparation for the long-awaited reunion between Benson and Stabler.
Hargitay is said to come back with his role in the twenty-second season sooner than Organized Crime’s launch. Production on the new series, however, was delayed thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and change in the crew members of the show thus its release date was postponed to the next year. It has also delayed the reunion with Hargitay.
