Wolf, the writer and producer behind the entire Law & Order franchise, smiled for a selfie with Hargitay in her new Instagram post, which featured some celebratory glasses of champagne on the table. Margitay’s husband Peter Hermann, whom she met when he was a guest star on the show in 2002, was also in attendance for the special affair.
“Sunday family lunch,” Hargitay captioned the post. “So very very much to celebrate.” She also included the hashtags “SVU25” and “#Here’sTo25.”
Fans of the show were quick to join in on the celebration in the comments, with tons of users congratulating both Hargitay and Wolf on the milestone, which further cemented the show’s status as the longest-running primetime live-action series in U.S. history.
