Law & Order: SVU Season 26 BTS Photo Reveals First Look At Benson’s Team

Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay shares a new behind-the-scenes photo from season 26, revealing Benson’s team. Serving as a spinoff of NBC’s hit Law & Order, the Dick Wolf series premiered in 1999, following the Special Victims Unit as they investigate and prosecute sexual crimes that are often pulled right from real-life headlines. Law & Order: SVU season 26 is set to bring the hit police procedural back later this year, with Harigtay reprising her role as Olivia Benson alongside Ice-T as Fin Tutuola.

In a recent post on Instagram, Hargitay shares a first-look at Law & Order: SVU season 26, unveiling Benson’s team.

The image features, from left to right, Ice-T, Hargitay, Octavio Pisano as Joe Velasco, Juliana Aidén Martinez, and Kevin Kane as Terry Bruno. The actors comprising Benson’s team all pose around a silver vehicle, with the show’s set visible behind them.
