With Christopher Meloni back on the LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT set filming his return to the L&O universe (ahead of the upcoming spinoff, LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME), he posted the first photo with his once-and-future co-star Mariska Hargitay.

“We are a little bit closer,” Meloni captioned the Instagram post.

Meloni, who first returned to the SVU set in December, also shared a photo of stepping back into the role of Stabler at the time.

Though news of the latest LAW & ORDER spinoff first leaked in March—with its official order coming in June—details about the series are still sparse.

Prior to this, SVU showrunner Warren Leight shared the first rehearsal (via Zoom) photo of the episode that would mark Meloni’s reunion with the franchise.

Update (January 25): With production for ORGANIZED CRIME officially underway, Hargitay shared photos with Meloni on the set of his new show…
