Mariska Hargitay Hints at ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Future as She Kicks Off New Gig
Hargitay will perform a six-week solo run while teasing Olivia Benson’s future as NBC prepares production for Season 28.
On May 26, Mariska Hargitay began her Broadway debut in the solo show 'Every Brilliant Things,' just 12 days after Law & Order: SVU's Season 27 finale concluded.
Season 27's finale directly confronted questions about the show's longevity, with Hargitay admitting uncertainty about how much longer she could continue in the role.
Rehearsing six days a week for the solo performance, Hargitay described the experience as 'so exhausting in a new way' compared to her 27 years on SVU, she shared with People magazine.
Rather than winding down, Hargitay stated 'No, I'm good for a couple more years,' while Ice-T's character Fin dismissed retirement, signaling cast continuity into Season 28.
Hargitay remains the sole original cast member on Law & Order: SVU as Season 28 premieres Fall 2026 on NBC Thursdays at 9/8c, anchoring a series where Ice-T joined in Season 2.
