Beloved Law & Order star returning to SVU's 27th season
The 64-year-old Emmy nominee shared Instagram snaps of the pair posing with their former co-star Dann Florek, on the New York set of the longest-running US prime-time drama in history.
'Hangin' with friends on a Friday [night],' Christopher - who boasts 3.7M social media followers - captioned the slideshow.
Last Monday, Meloni responded to X user @kathyrcostello who demanded his character NYPD Detective Elliot Stabler kiss Mariska's character NYPD Captain Olivia Benson during their next onscreen reunion: 'I'm f***ing trying!'
Last year, the longtime castmates guest-starred on each other's Law & Order spin-offs for a two-part crossover when Benson enlisted Stabler for help after her son was threatened.
'I knew quickly that we had this kind of magical chemistry,' Hargitay recalled to TODAY on January 9 of their first meeting in 1999.
'Chris and I are polar opposites in terms of who we are as people. And yet, there was this yin-yang. So when they paired us [during the audition], I was like, "Oh, this is done."'
Christopher and the 61-year-old Emmy winner even became family in 2001 when she was appointed godmother of he and his wife Sherman Williams' daughter Sophia.
Meloni and the 64-year-old retired production designer also welcomed 21-year-old son Dante via surrogate during their 30-year marriage.
The IF actor abruptly left creator Dick Wolf's police procedural in 2011 due to a contract dispute, but returned as 'recurring' in 2020 before scoring his own spin-off Organized Crime in 2021.
On July 2, Christopher shared a curious time-lapse clip of his head being encased in prosthetic make-up for special effects on a future mystery project.
It led one scared fan to comment: 'Omg wait no - does this mean they need a replica of Stabler's head for a special effect? Please don't kill off America's sweetheart!'
Aside from Meloni and Florek - Law & Order: SVU's upcoming season, led by returning showrunner Michele Fazekas, will also feature franchise vets B.D. Wong, Dean Winters, Peter Scanavino, and Octavio Pisano.
The Washington, D.C.-born actor's spin-off Organized Crime has ominously not been picked up by Peacock for a sixth season, but NBC will re-air the 10-episode fifth season starting September 25.
Regardless, Christopher is clearly in demand as has signed on to two more projects last month.
Last Monday, Meloni responded to X user @kathyrcostello who demanded his character NYPD Detective Elliot Stabler kiss Mariska's character NYPD Captain Olivia Benson during their next onscreen reunion: 'I'm f***ing trying!'
Hargitay recalled to TODAY on January 9 of their first meeting in 1999: 'I knew quickly that we had this kind of magical chemistry. Chris and I are polar opposites in terms of who we are as people.

It led one scared fan to comment: 'Omg wait no - does this mean they need a replica of Stabler's head for a special effect? Please don't kill off America's sweetheart!'
On July 23, Deadline reported that Meloni will portray an NFL head coach in Dan Fogelman's untitled football drama for Hulu.
On July 14, Variety reported that the University of Colorado-Boulder grad joined the ensemble cast of Matt Spicer's real estate comedy Little Brother for Netflix alongside John Cena and Eric Andre.
Christopher will also in Adam Rifkin's Atlanta-set psychedelic stoner comedy Toad alongside Katt Williams, James Franco, and Tiffany Haddish.

Robbie Williams 'splashes out on £30MILLION waterfront mansion in Miami which boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock'
Robbie Williams has reportedly splashed out on a new £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami. The singer, 51, and his wife Ayda Field will soon be moving into the sprawling US property, according to The New York Post. The lavish home boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock directly onto the water. In addition to the £30 million price tag he reportedly spent another £4 million on furniture, adjustments and building renovations to make it the perfect family home. It comes after last May he sold his LA mansion for £51.6 million ($65M) - making a handsome £12.3million in just over two years. He hired Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas to extend and perfect the home. He told the publication: 'We're doing a ground-up build. He'll be relocating immediately to the existing home, and we're going to be doing new construction, adding between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. 'We're creating functional spaces that could be used as a recording studio and multiple different functions. 'So he's able to work from home when he's not on tour.' There are also reportedly plans for a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind for a US home. Robbie bought his new home from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr Nicole Martin and husband Anthony Lopez. Robbie sold his LA home last year. The sale meant the British singer looked to be cutting ties with Hollywood for good after owning a place there for 18 years. He purchased the huge property, which sits on 1.95 acres, in uber-rich Holmby Hills for £39.3million in March 2022. The three-house estate featured eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, pool and tennis court, plus an impressive garage that holds 15 luxury cars, all spanning over 18,900 sq ft. Dubbed the 'Funny Girl' Estate, the property was originally constructed in 1938 for the renowned comedian Fanny Brice. She was famously played by Barbara Streisand in a Broadway musical based on her life The starlet, whose life is the subject of semi-biographical musical Funny Girl, lived at the Faring Estate until she died in 1951. Robbie has now sold four properties in the last two years, with his only other remaining asset being his £17.5million Kensington, London home. According to documents, the new owner is Lapro Property Trust, which is a Sydney-based entity associated with Aussie billionaire Nick Molnar, who co-founded Afterpay. Molnar previously purchased Matthew Perry's Century City penthouse for £16.6M in 2021 - and sold it to Rihanna two years later. Robbie seems in a big hurry to get rid of his properties. In 2022 he even revealed he had nowhere to live after selling his home in Wiltshire and his previous Los Angeles property. He sold a ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom LA mansion to Drake in a private $35-$50 million deal for the ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom mansion. The 2022 sale came two months after Robbie found a buyer for his Wiltshire home in a deal worth £6.75million. Speaking to Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, Robbie said at the time: 'We're actually nowhere.' 'We haven't got an abode right now, we've pretty much sold everywhere, we don't live anywhere and we're trying to figure it out.' Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.' Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States. He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself. 'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway. 'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'
