‘Law & Order: SVU’: Mariska Hargitay & Chris Meloni Reunite In Crossover Event — Watch Promo

Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler are finally back together. NBC has released the first promo, which teases the long-awaited reunion, in Law & Order: SVU‘s April 1 two-hour crossover event.

The clip begins with a look-back at the long relationship between Mariska Hargitay’s Benson and Chris Meloni’s Stabler, which ended after SVU‘s 12th season in 2011 when Stabler abruptly retired from the police force.
