Plot details for Season 26 are still sparse.
NBC remains tight-lipped about the Season 26 plot, but noted that Benson and her Law & Order: Organized Crime friend, Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), have had a relationship that some viewers are hoping turns into more, shipping them as “Bensler.”
“What I hope is that we find the space to move forward,” Christopher said. “I don’t know if we have, but I look forward to keep trying it. To keep challenging it. To keep trying to figure it out.”
Ice-T thinks the show will go the distance.
“We’re very excited about going into season 26. I think last season we caught a whole other wind of fans, and everybody got in it, and the ratings were great,” he recently told Us Weekly. “I don’t see any reason why SVU can’t go 30 [seasons].”
“I think the show will stay on as long as Mariska wants to do the show,” he added. “It’s her show.”
