Overview
- Mariska Hargitay told TODAY she hopes Jalen Brunson will appear on Law and Order: SVU and whispered “don’t tell anyone” while adding “we got some things in the works.”
- Reports say Brunson privately expressed interest in a cameo this offseason and he has publicly supported Hargitay by attending her Broadway show and the Knicks’ championship events.
- Hargitay is actively filming a new season of SVU and has the show’s culture of high-profile guest stars as context for the possible cameo.
- Christopher Meloni has been reported as supportive of Brunson appearing on the show, but no official casting, schedule or episode details have been confirmed by the series or representatives.
- The tease doubles as promotion for both Brunson’s heightened public profile after the Knicks’ title run and Hargitay’s other projects, including her upcoming Primetime Emmy Awards hosting role, and could raise attention for the show if it proceeds.
