Mariska Hargitay is back as Olivia Benson!
Two and a half weeks after the 118-day SAG-AFTRA strike was resolved, the team behind Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has officially kicked off filming on the show's historic 25th season — and the procedural's leading lady posted on Instagram to celebrate the cast and crew's first big day back at work.
In a post shared to Instagram, the actress, 59, shared a behind-the-scenes photo that featured Ice-T moving to karate chop Hargitay who was holding a camera on her shoulder.
