Mariska Hargitay says Benson has “a lot more work to do”
The Dick Wolf procedural has spawned eight official spinoffs — with six in the United States alone — that have consistently delivered an authentic Law & Order experience for millions of fans throughout the years. It’s thanks to these spinoffs that viewers have been introduced to some of the most memorable characters on television, such as Law & Order: SVU’s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Law & Order: Organized Crime’s Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni).
Hargitay has been on SVU since the beginning, portraying Benson for nearly 30 years. In a 2024 interview with TODAY, the Emmy winner looked back on how much her iconic character has grown on our TV screens since SVU premiered. “It’s so beautiful to have the privilege to actually watch the evolution,” she said. “As I see it and look back, Olivia Benson is sort of a perfect feminist story because we actually see this woman grow into her power.”
And, don’t worry, Captain Benson is just getting started. “I’m not done with Olivia Benson yet,” Hargitay told Las Vegas Review-Journal in September 2025. “She’s got a lot more work to do.”
Beyond her own love of Benson, Hargitay gushed about the SVU cast and crew in an interview with NBC Insider. “I love my job,” she said. “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. It is such an incredible team, and we rely so much on each other. We’re a unit. It’s so sacred to me.”
