Mariska Hargitay Reunites with ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Ex-Star Chris Meloni in New Radiant Photo

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star, Mariska Hargitay recently posted a photo with her former co-star, Chris Meloni, during a "Sunday night dinner," and fans can't contain their excitement.

Mariska Hargitay stirred excitement among her fans after posting a series of selfies with her former co-star, Chris Meloni, whom she met to have "Sunday night dinner" with, as said in the caption of her post.

Many among her fans commented on the post with positivity and support of the SVU stars. One hoped to see Meloni play his famous role as Elliot Stabler on the show's upcoming season.

"STOP TEASING US," another commented.

"I think there's gonna be a come back they are in the middle of making a new season I feel like Elliot is coming back," another speculated.

Meloni aired on the show for 12 seasons, and even got a nomination for an Emmy for his role. He played the perfect partner detective of Olivia Benson (Hargitay) on the hit series for over a decade. However, on the 13th season, he no longer returned.

Since his exit, Meloni has been vocal of his decision, adding that there were no regrets after leaving the show. He admitted that moving on was the best thing to do after contract negotiations failed. He has since been replaced by Danny Pino to play detective Nick Amaro.

On the other hand, Hargitay stayed on the show until it's 21st season that made SVU the longest-running action-drama series in history. The show's partners remained close friends despite the big decision to leave the show.

Meloni's next project was on Hulu's original, "The Handmaid's Tale," where he honed the character of Commander Winslow, together with his new co-star and on-screen wife, Elizabeth Reaser, during the third season.

"Commanders were linear guys who were kind of fearful and didn't want to step outside the established norms," Meloni shared. "There's a high price to pay when you make a mistake in 'The Handmaid's Tale,' and I wanted to present a guy who didn't have those constraints."
