Benson and Stabler are back together.

Christopher Meloni hinted at a potential comeback for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, sharing a sequence of pictures featuring himself alongside his screen partner Mariska Hargitay on the set of the NBC show.

In a recent series of Instagram posts on August 2nd, Meloni, who played Detective Elliot Stabler for twelve seasons alongside Captain Olivia Benson portrayed by Hargitay in the crime drama, was seen spending a relaxed evening with his former co-star. The caption read, “Spending time with friends on a Friday night.

In a delightful moment captured behind the scenes, Meloni and Hargitay exchanged warm smiles while wearing their police uniforms. The 61-year-old actress affectionately embraced the 64-year-old.

Additionally, there’s another image featuring former NYPD Blue and Law & Order: SVU star, Dann Florek. He formally left the series in his role as Captain Donald Cragen back in 2015.

The picture includes another shot of Dann Florek, a previous cast member from NYPD Blue and Law & Order: SVU. In 2015, he officially bid farewell to the show, playing the character Captain Donald Cragen.

Previously, Meloni (currently starring in Peacock’s spinoff “Law & Order: Organized Crime”) has worked with Hargitay again since his departure, but what left viewers astonished was the potential appearance of Florek on the upcoming 27th season of the NBC series.

1 User exclaimed on Instagram, “Oh my goodness! The OG’s! I adore this so much,” as another user enthusiastically posted, “Captain Cragen is back home! Seems like an enjoyable Friday evening!

A different viewer commented on the emotional tension between Stabler and Benson, saying, “Are we going to be left in tears by this episode? Please, not another heartbreak!

Viewers will need to watch closely to find out if Meloni and Florek will appear together on screen during the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Hargitay has hinted about whether her character might find herself romantically involved with Stabler or not.

She mentioned to Alex Cooper during their conversation on the July 25th episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, “Perhaps it was in the last episode when they should have been a couple.

Nonetheless, Hargitay, who has spearheaded the series since its debut in 1999, expressed that any romantic development should occur “provided it feels genuine.

Law & Order: SVU season 27 premieres this September on NBC.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni rise early for a morning appearance on the Today show, where they discuss the upcoming season of their Law & Order series on NBC.

Prior to revealing one of the major winners of the evening, the 2022 Emmy presenters amused the audience with some light-hearted antics at the Microsoft Theatre.

At the 2022 Emmys, the cast of Law & Order: SVU dropped by the Backstage Creations lounge, enjoying a playful moment by donning their cozy Spirit Hoods.

On Sunday evening, Mariska posted a selfie with Chris, her co-star from Law & Order: SVU, where they worked together for 12 seasons until he departed the show in 2011. They enjoyed dinner together.

In December 2018, during a vacation, Hargitay shared this picture with her dear friend, and we can’t get enough of it! She wrote, “Vacation…What a wonderful evening with you. #Reunited #OldFriends #Thankful.

Back in May 2018, Meloni and Hargitay spent some quality time in New York City. Fortunately for us, they captured their get-together, giving us a glimpse into their friendship.

In a playful caption for this selfie mishap, Meloni wrote, “The quirky duo taking over NYC streets!” Indeed, it’s hard not to adore their charming bond.

Despite being slightly unclear, this 2017 photo of the two ex-castmates from “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” enjoying holiday time together is simply adorable.

Last Thanksgiving in 2017, we bumped into each other, and let me tell you, nothing could dampen our good times! No matter the event or reason, we always find a way to enjoy ourselves together.

Ugh, how do we get Detective Stabler to give us a smooch?

Even the seemingly effortless instances require practice, as shown by Meloni in her latest posts.

In April 2017, Hargitay posted a heartfelt photo on her social media in celebration of her TV partner’s birthday. She ended the caption with “PFL,” leaving us fans yearning a little because Stabler and Benson truly are unbreakable partners!

After I believed Valentine’s Day had come to an end, I discovered… When I least expected it, here I am tearing up once more as I recall the heartwarming affection these two shared on Valentine’s Day in 2017.

Back in 2016, these ex-TV co-stars and genuine pals opted for an early holiday get-together at Christmas time. Now, we’re yearning for a long-awaited TV comeback from them!

Hargitay posted this heartwarming photo with the hashtags #PFL, #FacialHairDontCare, #Hargoatee, #HanginWithAFriend, and #ItsAllInTheEyesKid. We always look forward to these instant reunions.

In 2015, under the cover of the night, New York City’s most distinguished companions, or friends as you might say, gathered once more to capture a memorable group shot.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but be thrilled by the consistent connection between them, no matter the distance. Whether it’s been days, weeks, or even months apart, they always manage to find time to check in with each other. And every one of their run-ins over the past few years has only served to fuel my excitement and admiration for their bond. I’m all in!

Back in March 2014, they got together for a dinner, indicating that their partnership remains strong, regardless of whether or not they appear on screen together any longer.
