Mariska Hargitay Confirms Christopher Meloni’s SVU Return With Set Photo

Is Bensler back?
That was the case when Mariska Hargitay shared a photo of her former costar Christopher Meloni on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit during production on its 28th season.
Alongside the selfie, which showed Hargitay, 62, pointing to Meloni, 64, as he stood with his back toward the camera, the actress wrote in a Sept. 22 Instagram post, “Who dat?”
And though Meloni kept quiet when E! News recently asked him about his rumored return to SVU, Hargitay confirmed that her longtime friend will be appearing on the NBC crime drama’s 600th episode with another joint selfie, writing, “Happy 600.”
The reunion comes five months after Meloni’s Law & Order: Organized Crime spinoff—which centered around his character Elliot Stabler’s work in New York City’s Organized Crime Control Bureau—was canceled following five seasons.
