Currently, Law & Order: SVU is officially the longest-running primetime scripted series on television. For the show’s 21st season, executive producer Warren Leight stated that he wants to make a statement. "Thematically, it's a year about passages and changes. I don't think anybody at the start of the season will be in the same place at the end of the season. People's titles will change, people's roles in the squad room will change, people's domestic life—turning 21 is a major passage in life, so it should be for the show as well," he said.
He continued, "With any luck, the special victims unit will still be up and running by the end of the season, but people will go through a lot of personal and professional changes, I think."
Since 1999, Mariska has played the role of Detective Olivia Benson and has starred along notable names in Hollywood. Last month, Mariska shared a behind-the-scene photo with guest star Ariel Winter.
"Love this girl @arielwinterOpens in a new Window. I’ve got your back. #SVU21Opens in a new Window.," Mariska wrote as her caption alongside of a photo of herself with the Modern Family star, 21.
