A Refresher on What Christopher Meloni’s Been Up to Between ‘Law & Order’ Stints
Christopher Meloni is picking up the badge again. Nearly nine years after his last appearance as Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVU, the actor is stepping back into the role for a forthcoming SVU spinoff on NBC.
The 13-episode series has neither a premiere date nor a title, but reports say the Dick Wolf crime drama—in which Stabler will head the NYPD organized crime unit—could be branded as a Law & Order show.
