Sorry, can I just get some aspirin?
00:02
And that's it.
00:06
Drop the knife.
00:08
It's Olivia Benson's world, and we're just living in it.
00:11
Law & SVU just made TV history.
00:14
NBC has renewed the drama for a record-setting 21st season,
00:17
making it the longest-running live-action primetime series
00:20
in the history of American TV.
00:22
It will surpass the record of 20 seasons
00:24
currently held by its parent show, Law & Order,
00:27
and CBS's Gunsmoke.
00:28
But maybe we're all victims.
00:30
Maybe.
00:33
Maybe we're just all victims of the past.
00:37
Of course, star and executive producer Mariska Hargitay
00:40
will also extend her run as Lieutenant Olivia Benson,
00:43
aka the longest-running female character
00:45
in a live-action primetime series.
00:47
Queen.
00:48
The actress has earned eight Emmy noms for her role,
00:50
winning lead drama actress in 2006.
00:53
Yes, this is the kind of track record that gets Taylor Swift
00:55
to name a cat after you.
00:56
SVU premiered in September 1999,
00:59
and there are no current plans for season 21 to be the show's last.
01:02
Hargitay said at a Paley Center event last June
01:04
that if the show's writing remains sharp, she'll stay for 25 years.
01:07
Should I be worried about my job?
01:09
Not for a minute.
01:11
Trust me, Liv.
01:12
I've got you back now, then, and always.
01:14
Creator Dick Wolf said of the renewal,
01:16
As SVU moves into its third decade,
01:19
Mariska has become an iconic figure as a star, advocate, and crusader for women.
01:23
And Hargitay added,
01:25
The longevity and continued success of SVU is a testament
01:27
not only to the show's powerful storytelling
01:30
and ability to connect with viewers, but to its necessity.
01:33
We have told important stories for 20 years,
01:35
and we'll continue to tell them.
01:37
SVU also stars Ice-T, Kelly Giddish, Peter Scanovino, and Philip Winchester.
