The landmark 25th season of Law & Order: SVU is coming to a close, and we couldn’t let this record-setting occasion go by without some serious fanfare. As the season finale nears, we’re looking back on all the fun things that have been done, in New York City and beyond, to celebrate this milestone.

NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza celebrated SVU 25 by transforming into Olivia Benson Plaza, honoring Mariska Hargitay’s iconic character.

Limited Edition Merch

We released two pieces of limited edition SVU 25 merch: an anniversary tee featuring Captain Benson and a Benson & Co. coffee mug — both of which sold out quicker than we could day “dun dun.” However, the fans asked and we listened: we’ve restocked the anniversary tee for a limited time only, available exclusively at the Wolf Entertainment shop until Sunday May 19th. Grab yours before they’re gone for good!
