Giddish, who played Detective Amanda Rollins

for more than 10 seasons, left the show in season 24.
Mariska Hargitay could not be more excited about Kelli

Giddish’s return to Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the 60-year-old actress

shared a photo of her and her longtime pal smiling as they filmed a new episode of the long-running NBC drama. The stars — who play Captain Olivia Benson and Detective Amanda Rollins, respectively — are shown shooting outside a brownstone in New York City for season 25.

“#Reunited and it feels so good! #MeAndMyGirl,” Hargitay captioned the photo. She also added “#FierceFriendship” and “#SVU25” to the post.

The photo marks another return to the television series for Giddish, 43, who exited the show after 12 years back in 2022. Since her departure from the role — explained in the series as Rollins taking a job as a professor of criminology at Fordham University — Giddish has returned to SVU for several episodes, including the season 24 finale.
