Perhaps the longest, most frustrating slow burn on TV is that of former partners Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). It started on Law & Order: SVU, where they worked side by side for 12 seasons until he left. It reignited when he got his own spinoff, Organized Crime, in 2021; sadly, that has been canceled after five seasons. But SVU is still going, meaning he can always pop up on there.

SVU showrunner Michele Fazekas is all for bringing Meloni back onscreen, though she notes it depends on his schedule.
