SEE IT: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial inspire Law & Order: SVU script

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has seemingly “taken a page” from the script of the bombshell defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, his ex-wife.

Late last week, actress Mariska Hargitay, who plays Capt. Liv Benson in the Law & Order: SVU series, was seen walking out of a court building with a young woman, played by ABC’s Bunheads actress Julia Goldani Telles, and flanked by crowds holding signs.

Mariska Hargitay and Julia Goldani Telles are seen filming on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on August 04, 2022 in New York City.

The scene resembled moments of Heard being escorted out of the Fairfax County, Virginia, courthouse in May as supporters for both Heard and Depp held signs and cheered.

During the trial that streamed live, viewers commented that Heard made them think of an episode of Law & Order.


Hargitay announced last week that production for the series had picked up again.

The show heads into its 24th season this September on NBC.
