Law & Order: Meloni & Hargitay Share Some SVU News, Go Blue Steel
With a little more than two weeks to go until the next official "Law & Order: OC/SVU Crossover Event" finds Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) digging into the death of Benson's brother Simon (Michael Weston) and Richard Wheatley's (Dylan McDermott) possible connection to it, Meloni and Hargitay took to Instagram to celebrate a special occasion on Tuesday. That's right, the season finale of Law & Order: SVU has officially wrapped- and yes, Meloni's Stabler is around to (hopefully) help Hargitay's Benson end things on a good note.
Here's a look at Hargitay's post, followed by Meloni sharing a quick video of the two rocking the best Zoolander "Blue Steel" they can muster:
Now here's a look at the first official teaser for the big two-hour, two-episode crossover event, set for Thursday, May 13, at 9 pm ET/8 pm CT on NBC- followed by a clip from Law & Order: SVU where Benson opens up about those she's lost over the years- including her brother:
