Law & Order: SVU, currently in its 27th season, has aired in three different decades (it premiered in 1999). It’s getting hard to imagine there will be a time when it’s not on TV, but shows can’t last forever. This is also one that we cannot imagine continuing on without Mariska Hargitay, who has played Olivia Benson since the series premiered; she started out as a detective and is now the captain. But how long does she see the show continuing for? It has already been renewed for Season 28.
Hargitay told Deadline on April 22 that she can see the series reaching 30 seasons. “I love my show. I love my cast. I love my showrunner, my writers, my producers. I feel like the luckiest, happiest actress. I love Dick Wolf, and I’m so challenged still,” she shared. “I don’t want to go anywhere right now. It’s been amazing. The show really knows how to work with my schedule — I shot my movie, I figured out how to do it, I’m going to do a play now on Broadway.”
