Christopher Meloni confirms Benson will appear in Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5

As a die-hard fan who’s been riding this emotional rollercoaster since the early days of SVU, I can hardly contain my excitement! The prospect of Bensler unfolding before our eyes is not just a dream, but a reality that’s about to materialize on our screens. It’s been a long, arduous wait, but finally, Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson are set to share the screen again.

One thing we’re eager to witness more of is Bensler, but there were concerns about its possibility due to the shift of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” to Peacock in its fifth season.

Fret not! It’s been verified by Christopher Meloni himself that a scene featuring Bensler is indeed coming up. However, the specifics of whether it will be our desired scenario are unclear. Yet, we can expect some action in the upcoming season.

When will Olivia Benson appear in Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5?

You won’t have to wait much into the new season before experiencing a Bensler moment, as Mariska Hargitay is set to appear in the second episode. It’s unclear whether her appearance will span the entire episode or if it’s limited to addressing a single issue within one scene, but rest assured that Hargitay and Meloni will be seen together on screen again.

For quite some time, there was an uncertainty about their relationship, with a constant back-and-forth. However, everything changed when Stabler from Meloni’s series suddenly departed the SVU team without any warning, disappearing completely. It wasn’t until the show Organized Crime started airing that they had scenes together again, and it seemed like they continued their old dynamic right where they left off.

For the past four seasons of “Organized Crime”, there have been instances hinting at a potential kiss between the characters. This is something eagerly anticipated by fans, and both Meloni and Hargitay are prepared to take the plunge and develop their on-screen romance.

Will Bensler happen in Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5?

As a devoted admirer, I can’t reveal any secrets, Meloni is masterfully keeping everything under wraps. He neither confirms nor denies whether our long-awaited moment is imminent, or if it’s merely another tantalizing hint.

There is always the risk of cancellation. Fans need to see Bensler happen before a potential cancellation, so it has to be this season, right? Meloni did have this to say to PEOPLE, though:

I’m going to have an opportunity to… I don’t know. I’ll tell you what. Hopefully, uncover, peel away a little bit more of the onion or uncover a little more depth of feeling between them.

In various realms, combinations can prove effective. Previously, we witnessed the collaboration between FBI and FBI: Most Wanted, leading to Scolina’s appearance. Now, it’s time for a similar pairing featuring Bensler.
