About
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, television's longest-running live-action primetime series, continues filming across New York City for its landmark 26th season. Recent production has been spotted in Brooklyn Heights, Washington Heights, Fieldston, Riverdale, and throughout the Bronx, with the crew filming street scenes including a staged car accident at Oxford Avenue and West 236th Street. The show films at the Manhattan Center studios for interior scenes and regularly uses Manhattan College in Fieldston for exterior locations. Mariska Hargitay has starred as Detective Olivia Benson since 1999, making her one of television's most iconic characters. The show's extensive use of real NYC locations -- from the Upper East Side to outer-borough neighborhoods -- has made it a touchstone of New York filming culture.
