This will mark Meloni’s first appearance on SVU since the Season 27 premiere and follows the cancellation of his spinoff, “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” after five seasons.
Showrunner Michele Fazekas has emphasized the importance of Benson and Stabler’s relationship.
Fazekas noted that the 600th episode will stay true to the show’s heart and could include flashbacks or nods to past characters.
