‘Law & Order: SVU’ Fans, Brace Yourselves: NBC Just Revealed Olivia Benson’s Fate

Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) isn't ready to put down her badge yet.

NBC recently announced that Law & Order: SVU is back for a record-breaking 27th season.

Hargitay, Ice-T and Peter Scanavino will reprise their roles in the hit series.

Octavio Pisano, who plays Detective Joe Velasco, and Juliana Aidén Martinez, who played Detective Kate Silva), will depart the NBC series after Season 26, according to People.

Hargitay told NBC Insider that she loves her job even after more than two decades.

"I love going to work every day. I love the community that I'm in. I love my cast, my crew, and I love the intimacy of it all and the fact that we work in a culture that says, 'Let's do the work, let's have a fun time, and best idea wins.' It is such a team," she told the outlet.

"It is such an incredible team, and we rely so much on each other. We're a unit. It's so sacred to me," Hargitay added.
