Mariska was seen on the set of Season 26 of Law & Order: SVU on July 19, 2024.

Despite the blistering heat, the actress donned a black blazer and black pants while she portrayed Olivia Benson, her long-running character on the series.

Her black sunglasses possibly offered her some relief from the scorching sun.

In April 2024, Mariska stopped production for 20 minutes while filming a later episode of Season 25 of Law & Order: SVU.

While on set in The Big Apple, a frightened young girl approached the star, thinking she was a real-life police officer due to Olivia’s badge.

The girl did not notice the cameras, film crew, or other actors on set.

She had become lost from her mom while in the Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park, a source told People at the time.

Mariska stopped production to help the young girl find her mom.
