The reunion long-time Law & Order: SVU<\/em> fans have been waiting for is one step closer to happening.<\/p>\n

Christopher Meloni<\/a><\/strong> will return to the Law & Order<\/em> fold as Elliot Stabler<\/a> in a new series that has a 13-episode order from NBC, marking this the first time he’s playing the iconic character since the season 12 finale in 2011. The new Law & Order<\/em> show will be set in New York and feature Stabler leading the organized crime unit. That means that, yes, Meloni’s Stabler and Mariska Hargitay<\/a><\/strong>‘s Olivia Benson are set to cross paths once again.<\/p>\n

Meloni exited the show between seasons 12 and 13. In the season 12 finale, Meloni’s character was involved in a shooting in the precinct. The season 13 premiere explained his character decided to retire after the required leave of absence. Viewers never saw a farewell between the two fan-favorite partners.<\/p>\n

Now, the reunion is inevitable.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Law & Order: SVU<\/em> showrunner Warren Leight<\/strong> brought back a number of faces for the show’s history-making season 21, and ahead of the premiere said a Stabler return was out of his hands.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but, yeah, that’s kind of, I think the fans and Benson and Stabler are owed that,” Leight said about a reunion<\/a>. But he’s just talking about a reunion on screen. Hargitay and Meloni have kept in touch since his exit and regularly treat fans to selfies when they get together.<\/p>\n

See some of those moments below.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
