Yahoo Lifestyle Mariska Hargitay Declares the ‘SVU’ ‘Band Is Back Together’: ‘Our Prayers Have Been Answered’
Mariska Hargitay is reassuring fans that the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit “band is back together” following a brief break in new episodes.
Hargitay, who plays Olivia Benson on the long-running NBC police procedural, shared four selfies with two of her SVU co-stars on Instagram on Friday, Feb. 7. Though the show did not air a new Season 26 episode this week, another is expected to air on Thursday, Feb. 13.
In the photos, the 61-year-old actress posed with Kelli Giddish and Peter Scanavino. The selfies appeared to have been taken during a break on set, as a camera operator hoisted equipment up into the air in the background.
Giddish, currently a recurring cast member playing Amanda Rollins on the show, was the one taking the selfies. She stood beside Scanavino, who plays Dominick Carisi as part of the main cast. He perched one hand on Giddish’s shoulder and placed the other on Hargitay’s as he aimed a smile at the camera.
Hargitay and Giddish shared a look in the first snapshot as they grinned for the camera. Hargitay leaned in for the three following photos as she and Giddish both turned their attention forward and smiled for the camera.
“The Band is back together! #SVU26 #FridayFeels #ThreesCompany #TheCarisisAndMe,” Hargitay wrote to caption her post.
Fans were thrilled to see the selfies, with one writing, “We really love a great band comeback 😉💛,” as another declared, “THE BAND IS BACK OMGGG OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED.”
One of the show’s viewers dubbed Hargitay, Scanavino and Giddish the “Best team ever: the three amigos,” while another said the three were their “favourite trio!!!” and a third referred to the stars as “bestie goals.”
"They are a “Dream Team!!🔥❤️🔥,” another fan applauded.
