There is a strong possibility that the show won’t ever be canceled due to its active followers. As long there are fans, the show will be there. SUV is portraying some real, everyday things that get people involved, and some even get affected by what they see. Many of the things like child molestation and sexual attack are what is happening in this world, and the show is trying to get it closer to us and raise awareness about some critical issues.

Hargitay plays Lieutenant Olivia Benson, and she is a well-known advocate for women and victims of abuse. She shared with people how her life changed after Christopher Meloni left the show. “I did a lot of soul-searching of whether I wanted to go on. I was on my way to being at peace to be done.” But after season 17 her feelings changed. “I feel so newly challenged and inspired and excited, which just surprises me. I can’t believe how much I care now,” Hargitay shared.
Relatable
As we said, many of the show’s topics are affecting lots of viewers, just because it is based on real events and real problems. Paul Telegdy and George Cheeks commented on the shows’ 21st season, “We tip our cap to Dick Wolf, Mariska Hargitay and the amazing cast and crew of SVU, who now all go into the record book. This incredible run is an example of what happens when producers, writers, and actors all come together and create a show that, year after year, speaks to its audience in a powerful way. We couldn’t be more proud of this remarkable achievement.”
