Given all the background on Olivia Benson that Special Victims Unit viewers now have, it’s not hard to guess why she finds it hard to open up. She has been wounded by people whom she thought closest to her from a very young age, and then spent years working in an environment where she was constantly reminded of women’s vulnerability.
Surely, she has her friends and colleagues as her support system, and she has an adoptive son, whom she loves dearly. However, one season after the other, fans find Olivia Benson to be extremely lonely and in need of a romantic connection that would last.
Is Bensler Canon in Law & Order?
One of the things that seems to keep the writers from involving Olivia in too many romantic relationships is the huge Bensler fandom, which is still active even though Elliot Stabler hasn't been a part of Special Victims Unit for many years.

“The Good Wife” introduced Carrie Preston‘s Elsbeth Tascioni back in 2010. She was so popular with fans that she also featured in the spin-off show “The Good Fight.” Now Preston and Elsbeth take center stage in the brand new spin-off “Elsbeth.”
CBS’ hit drama series follows Elsbeth as she carries out work as an unconventional attorney and helps the NYPD catch criminals with her astute observations. Preston was excellent in her guest role in “The Good Wife” but she is even better here as the main course, as critics have noted.
Ben Travers (Indie Wire) observed: “Preston knows the exact pitch at which to play Elsbeth. Never grating yet always pesky, her unrelenting positivity (and general relentlessness) would undoubtedly get old, fast, in real life. Cops and criminals alike are exhausted by her, but audiences can more easily appreciate her dogged demeanor because a) we know she’s on the right track,...

Although Law & Order: Special Victims Unit remains the longest-running and most popular spin-off of the franchise, fans of the show have a bone to pick with the creators. From the sheer obscurity of some of the show's recent cases to the flawless character of Olivia Benson, there is always room for growth.
There is also always room for change when it comes to the writers' approach to fandom headcanons. And if it once seemed that the behind-the-scenes crew was doing its best to avoid turning any fan theory into canon, today the most anticipated romance in the entire Law & Order franchise is closer to happening than ever before.
Are Olivia Benson and Eliot Stabler an Endgame?
For decades, Special Victim Unit fans have dreamed of Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler becoming more than just loyal partners and friends. Since the show's inception, viewers have speculated about the nature of their relationship,...

Blue Bloods isn't quite done yet.
CBS' beloved police/family drama still has eight episodes left that will air in the fall, though they've wrapped up the first part of their final season and will soon be finished filming the series finale, which will air in December 2024.
CBS gets a big, fat F for this cancelation news, but let's put that aside and look at what worked and what didn't during the first part of Blue Bloods Season 14.
Before we jump into it, let's clear up some confusion. CBS is calling those final eight episodes the second part of Season 14 even though they Also called Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 10 the season finale.
Tom Selleck recently stated that those eight episodes are really Season 15, and it's hard to blame him for saying so, even though it caused more confusion. These episodes are airing in the fall, traditionally the start of the new season,...

For Kevin Kane, the endgame never wavered once he set a goal to move to New York in the early aughts to pursue a career in acting. He’ll tell you that luck seemed to always be on his side, as the actor from Philadelphia found work soon after his arrival to the Big Apple.
Kane was soon thrusted into the world of Dick Wolf Entertainment with small roles on Law & Order and Chicago P.D. This would eventually lead to his current recurring role as Detective Terry Bruno on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which aired its season 25 finale on May 16.
But early on, while studying acting at the William Esper Studio, Kane would formulate a lifelong bond and friendship with a fellow classmate named Amy Schumer. Together, they would not only hone their skills in drama and comedy, but also sharpen their writing, producing and whatever it would...

“Law & Order: Organized Crime” may be moving to Peacock for Season 5, but that doesn’t mean it won’t still have some crossovers with “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” In fact, Mariska Hargitay is already finding a way to reunite with Christopher Meloni, she told Variety exclusively at the NBCU FYC Emmy showcase on Saturday.
“I’m actually planning on it,” she said of an upcoming crossover episode. “I just told him the other day. We had a party the other night, we saw each other. It was heavenly. I met his showrunner. They want us together, and Chris and I were talking about it, and it’s time. It’s time now for us. This was a long time not being in each other’s universe. That’s why we did the calls and stuff like that. But we’re excited to get back in there, get back in the ring.

Welcome back to Origins, our recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, Ice-t digs into the twisted inspirations behind the latest Body Count release, “Psychopath.”
Body Count have returned with their new single, “Psychopath,” offering Ice-t the opportunity to step back into a different side of himself kept hidden while playing Sergeant Fin Tutuola on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
As Ice-t tells Consequence over Zoom, he relishes in extremes when making music — particularly when it comes to the macabre. “I think humans have a blood lust,” he explains. “We’re fascinated by it… we run to the car crash.”
For the multi-hyphenate, working with his hardcore/metal project, Body Count, offers a different kind of catharsis and escapism than playing a character on TV, or playing a character in his solo music. Their new release, “Psychopath...

Ugh. We got rid of the annoying Chief McGrath only for Svu to introduce an even more irritating character.
Law & Order: Svu Season 25 Episode 13 began with Heidi Russell barging into a meeting and constantly interrupting Benson, and nothing this woman did corrected that initial impression of her as a nuisance who doesn't care about justice.
The case was interesting, minus Heidi's contributions, but the season ended on a strange note that Bensler fans might not have appreciated as much as the writers expected.
Heidi Russell is The Worst Kind of Ada
Russell's arrogance, refusal to admit she was wrong and insistence that closing the case was more important than getting the right guy made her incredibly ill-suited for the Ada job.
Could someone go to Nicholas Baxter and demand she be removed? Please?
So far, this woman has zero redeeming values. If she's ever going to grace our screens again,...

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer entered the streaming top 10 in mid-April, and given the continued buzz around the series, it’s likely to stay around for a while.
The show drew 673 million minutes of viewing for the week of April 15-21, according to Nielsen’s latest streaming rankings. That was good for third place among original series and ninth among all titles.
Prime Video’s Fallout had a second straight huge week, if not quite as big as its first. It had 2.62 billion minutes of watch time, off a slight 10 percent from its opening week, which was the best single week for a Prime Video show since Nielsen began its streaming rankings almost four years ago. It’s also the first show that doesn’t stream on Netflix to have back-to-back weeks above 2 billion minutes of viewing.

At this point, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Mariska Hargitay are almost synonymous, as one cannot exist without the other. While Hargitay will likely be fine career-wise once the show is over, Svu will not survive a single season without its 25-year-old leading lady on set.
While some fans feel that the show that has lasted so long can just wrap it up and become a nice distant memory, others want it to reinvent itself in a different version. And considering how much NBC makes off of Dick Wolf's franchises, that is a very realistic possibility.
Does Svu Have a Spinoff?
Even though the spinoff to a spinoff isn't a very popular concept, Law & Order: Svu, which is now so popular that it almost stands alone next to the whole bunch of other Law & Order shows, won't be the first to try it. The CBS sitcom Young Sheldon,...

It's safe to say that some TV shows couldn't function without their main characters. No one can imagine Doctor Who without the Doctor at the center of its adventures, or Grey's Anatomy without Meredith Grey, even though Shondaland is trying to prove otherwise today with the show's 20th season.
Even if Olivia Benson's name doesn't appear in any Law & Order: Special Victims Unit titles, every single viewer now associates the show with her. Thanks to Mariska Hargitay's dedication to the role, no one has any reason to believe that she'll be leaving the show anytime soon, but some fans still fear that may happen.

Cancelations suck, and the 2024 season has been particularly brutal.
Long-running favorites such as Station 19, Blue Bloods, and Young Sheldon are going off the air, leaving fans brokenhearted -- and actors out of a steady gig.
Sometimes, actors land a new gig right away, and other times, they struggle to find new work. The cancellations were recently announced, so not everyone has had the opportunity to move on to a new project yet, but there are some interesting things in the works.
Having a Long-Running Series is a Double-Edged Sword
When actors land a gig that lasts for half a decade or more, they're guaranteed work for as long as the series lasts.
That allows them to become household names but also can make it harder for them to get new jobs in the future. For example, Henry Winkler was so associated with The Fonz that when Happy Days ended,...

Seth Meyers had a relatively short set at Monday’s NBCUniversal upfront, but he still got his shots in. Like this one on NBCU competitor Paramount: “I found $20 on the street this morning,” Meyers said. “Long story short, I’m one of the two finalists [to buy] Paramount.”
We’re not sure the Paramount Global special committee is going to take that offer seriously — kind of like Byron Allen’s. See? We’ve got jokes too.
For real though, the two entities playing tug-of-war with Paramount are 1) David Ellison’s Skydance and 2) a Sony/Apollo Global Management contingent.
Meyers had a few punchlines chambered for his employer. Like this one, on NBCU streaming service Peacock: “Peacock continues to prove that the easiest way to make a billion dollars is to spend eight [billion].”
Peacock is not only (still) losing a ton of money, it has yet to reveal a profitable-by date; even Paramount+ has one of those.

At the NBCUniversal upfronts, they saved the best for almost last: “Late Night With Seth Meyers” host Seth Meyers hit the Radio City Music Hall stage to throw out a few quips before introducing NBCUniversal ad sales chief Mark Marshall.
Meyers came out swinging: “Hello and welcome to the NBC upfronts. If you’re looking for the Fox News upfronts, that’s happening outside a lower Manhattan courtroom,” he said to chuckles.
He then took aim at the broadcast industry: “What a joy to be back in Radio City Music Hall. I asked an NBC executive why do you hold upfronts here every year and they said, ‘I like looking at the marquee and thinking, “Sure. It’s a tricky time for TV but it couldn’t be worse. We could be in radio.”’”
The uncertain fate of Paramount Global was ripe for comment: “Also, not to brag — a very good day for me.

Three new series are set to premiere in the fall, including the drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto and inspired by the true story of a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Oliver Wolf, and his team of interns as they explore the last great frontier — the human mind — while also grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
Also coming is St. Denis Medical, which stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Allison Tolman, and David Alan Grier and is from co-creators Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin. It brings the laughs with a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity.

It's taken nearly two full seasons, but Will has finally built a genuine family connection with someone.
Bringing on John Ortiz to play Antonio Miranda has been a delight. He has a believable connection with Ramon Rodriquez, so Antonio wants to show him his heritage and family in Puerto Rico.
Spoilers for Will Trent Season 2 Episode 9 hint that after Will joins his uncle in Puerto Rico and returns home, he gets involved in a case involving his uncle's friend's death.
We've come to love how supportive Antonio has become of Will. That was evident especially as Will broke down as his memories came flooding back to him about his childhood trauma in Jack's home.
Will has never had a "real" family. He's had Angie since he met her through the foster care system, but that's tainted with its' own memories, and he's formed different bonds with his work colleagues.

NBC has made subtle changes to its schedule for fall, which features three new series, medical drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto; medical comedy St. Denis Medical, headlined by Wendi McLendon-Covey and David Alan Grier; and Reba McEntire’s new sitcom, Happy’s Place. NBC is creating two clearly defined 8 Pm comedy blocks next season — a workplace one on Tuesday and a family one on Friday.
Here is NBC’s “very stable schedule” for fall, as NBCU’s SVP Content Planning Steve Kern described it, followed by analysis with input from Kern and NBCU President of Program Planning Jeff Bader, who also discussed contingencies in case of an IATSE strike, as well as description of NBC’s new series.

More than a decade after winning a guest acting Emmy for her work as quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni on CBS’s “The Good Wife,” Carrie Preston is now seeking lead category recognition for reprising the character on the same network’s “Elsbeth.” If she is included the upcoming Best Drama Actress lineup, she will make Emmys history as the first performer ever nominated as a lead for a winning dramatic guest role.
Preston was awarded the 2013 Best Drama Guest Actress Emmy for her seventh of 14 “Good Wife” appearances, which were spread over six seasons. After landing a second bid for that series in 2016, she showed up in five episodes of the Paramount+ spinoff “The Good Fight,” with her last appearance occurring one month before the series finale in November 2022. “Elsbeth” premiered this February and has already been renewed for a second season.

One of the main reasons why people continue to watch the Law & Order franchise is because of beloved characters that viewers simply cannot let go of. Christopher Meloni's Elliot Stabler, who started his journey in the 90s on Svu and returned much later to lead the organized crime unit, is definitely one of those characters.
However, neither the love for the character nor the ‘will they/won't they’ dynamic that the writers have teased between Stabler and his former partner Olivia Benson is enough to keep viewership at the same level it once was. And that prompted NBC to take action.
Is Law & Order: Organized Crime Canceled?
While Law & Order, the original series, and its longest-running spin-off, Special Victims Unit, were renewed for consecutive seasons long ago, Organized Crime's fate remained a mystery. Naturally, fans were surprised to see the newest show fall behind, but NBC kept everyone in the dark.

Did Benson do the right thing?
On Law & Order: Svu Season 25 Episode 12, she wanted to get closure and justice for Sykes and other families of children who went missing in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Sykes hated her for it, and finding Crystal's body after all these years broke her heart. Still, Benson's work allowed the families to get answers, which can be an important part of healing.
Shannah Sykes is No Amanda Rollins
Maybe it was because Rollins was fresh in my mind after Law & Order: Svu Season 25 Episode 11, but it felt like the Svu writers were trying too hard to make Sykes into Rollins 2.0.
Like Rollins, Sykes has a troubled past and deals with her demons through addictive behavior.
When Benson confronted her about her three-day bender, it reminded me of once when Rollins was gambling and trying to pretend the reason she...

Law & Order Svu has helped give Mariska Hargitay a platform where she could change lives, much like the show changed hers. Her passionate championing of women’s rights especially have led some to wonder if Hargitay is a feminist. It’s a label she wondered about herself.

No matter how you slice it, five hundred episodes is a big deal.
Law & Order: Svu hit it last year, albeit with a controversial episode that angered many survivors.
Now it was Law & Order Season 23 Episode 12's turn. They marked their 500th episode with a story that, ironically enough, seemed more suited for Svu but otherwise seemed like a typical episode. Was it special enough for the 500th?
Law & Order Doesn't Do Tribute Episodes
When Sam Waterson exited the series on Law & Order Season 23 Episode 5, it was a strong story that was still disappointing because it didn't contain any flashbacks or other tributes to his iconic character. The same thing happened here.
That's the way it has to be to an extent. It would be off-brand to have an episode that's more tribute than original story. Still, there should have been something more to the story than...

Law & Order has been on the air for decades, but one popular series looked like it was on the chopping block. Currently, the franchise has Law & Order, Law & Order: Svu, and Law & Order: Organized Crime. NBC already canceled the original L&o once before bringing it back and now Organized Crime is on the chopping block.
However, there is good and bad news for fans of the Elliot Stabler-led L&o series.
Law & Order Series Receives Late Renewal
It looked like Organized Crime was getting canceled. While fans were overjoyed to see Det. Elliot Stabler return to TV in a series unlike any other in the franchise, the network was not moving very fast on a renewal for a fifth season.

“Law & Order: Organized Crime” has been renewed for Season 5, with the show now officially set to move from NBC to Peacock.
The news comes after weeks of speculation that the show would make the jump to the streaming service from the broadcast network. The Season 4 finale will air on NBC on May 16 and stream the next day on Peacock.
Moving “Law & Order: Oc” to Peacock is not altogether surprising. The show has lagged behind fellow Dick Wolf series “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: Svu,” and the three “Chicago” shows at NBC while still maintaining solid viewership. It also reportedly does very well on Peacock, particularly given its more serialized storylines, a departure from Wolf’s typical procedural format.
It was also the last Dick Wolf broadcast show awaiting word on its fate for next season. The other two “Law & Order” shows and all three “Chicago” shows were renewed back in March.

Twenty-five years. That's how long Olivia Benson has come into our homes and hearts on Law & Order: Svu.
We've grown with her, been inspired by her, and cried with her. She almost feels like a friend, and why wouldn't she?
After spending a quarter of a century together, Olivia Benson is as familiar as she is iconic and deserves to be celebrated.
It was nearly impossible to whittle the list of memorable Olivia Benson moments to just 25. She shines in every episode, and it's been exciting to accompany her on her journey from doe-eyed newbie to tough-as-nails captain of the Svu unit.
Still, every season had at least one moment that stood out.
Law & Order: Svu has evolved over the years, as has Benson, but it's easy to forget how different things were when the series first began.
Benson used to have a different hairstyle every season -- remember that?...

One of the most noticeable omissions from the 2023 Emmy nominations was “The Crown” star Imelda Staunton, who was generally considered a safe bet since her predecessors in the role of Queen Elizabeth II – Claire Foy and Olivia Colman – had never failed to garner TV academy recognition. As she now seeks redemption in the form of a farewell win (just like Foy and Colman achieved in 2018 and 2021), multiple factors give her a better standing in the race compared to last year.
Based on the Emmy nominations predictions of over 2,000 Gold Derby users, Staunton is currently in second place behind Best Drama Actress frontrunner (and 2020 nominee) Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”).

It's hard to imagine Law & Order: Special Victims Unit without Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson and Christopher Meloni's Elliot Stabler. Whether they work together or not, the early seasons of the show built a strong foundation not only for their working partnership, but also for a complicated interpersonal dynamic.
Of course, viewers were initially drawn to Svu because of the big franchise name and the scandalous element of sex crimes. But the majority stayed for Bensler, whether they were together or separated by circumstance. What many casual viewers don't know is the secret behind the origin of these iconic characters.
Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler Names Origin

Law & Order Svu star Mariska Hargitay has shown no signs of slowing down after 25 years of playing Olivia Benson. But playing a character as long as Hargitay has runs a risk of being typecast. It was a risk, however, that Hargitay didn’t seem to care about.

Not even Hargitay would’ve imagined she’d end up playing Svu detective Olivia Benson for so long. The character has changed Hargitay’s life in more ways than one, giving her the kind of acting career she strived to achieve for decades. Then Olivia Benson would go on to motivate Hargitay’s activism, inspiring her to create the Joyful Heart Foundation. Joyful Heart would go on to help real victims of sexual and domestic abuse, allowing Hargitay to personally reach real-life people who needed help.

Some celebrities have a big name that fans immediately recognize. Others have less of a reputation but just as much talent.
Josh Charles is a mildly successful actor with over forty credits in his portfolio. His career has spanned movies and TV series since the 1980s. While most of his work is lesser known, he's had a few breakthrough roles fans love.
Despite rarely being the main star, Charles has stayed relevant on screen, from his most known character in The Good Wife to his newest endeavor, FX's The Veil. Some of his earlier work should be on everyone's must-watch list.
Josh Charles started his acting career as a supporting character in the 1980s version of Hairspray. A year later, he scored his breakout role alongside Robin Williams -- one of the greatest actors of the time -- in Dead Poet's Society.
