Mariska Hargitay Is Starting a Production Company Because Apparently Running SVU Isn’t Enough Boss Energy for Her Anymore

Buy Me A Coffee

Mariska Hargitay, our queen of emotionally-charged monologues and dramatic courtroom exits, is officially entering her mogul era. That’s right: the Law & Order: SVU legend is launching her own production company, Mighty Entertainment, because, you know, being a TV icon for 25 seasons just wasn’t ambitious enough.

At a fabulous 61 years old (and still looking like she moisturizes with unicorn tears), Mariska decided it was time to add “CEO” to her resume. Mighty Entertainment will crank out both scripted and unscripted TV and film projects. Translation: drama, documentaries, reality shows, and probably at least one feel-good series that makes you cry in a Trader Joe’s parking lot.

In her official statement, which is somehow both poetic and powerful enough to be stitched onto a throw pillow at Oprah’s house, Mariska said:

“At Mighty Entertainment, we aim to tell stories that connect us to our courage, curiosity, and compassion.”

Girl. Yes. Say it louder for the people in the back of the writers’ room. She added that storytelling is both a “mandate and an invitation,” which is just fancy talk for “I’ve got a lot to say, and y’all better listen.”

But don’t panic, SVU fans — Olivia Benson isn’t retiring her badge anytime soon. She told IconicHipster.com that launching Mighty is just a chic little side hustle:

“It’s a beautiful way to balance what I do with SVU… and scratch that itch of doing something completely different.”

Mariska said there are still so many stories to tell — especially the ones that make the world feel “safer, cozier, and give hope.” Honestly, this woman is out here trying to be your therapist, your fairy godmother, and your executive producer all at once.

The company’s debut project? A little tearjerker called My Mom Jayne, which premiered at the actual Cannes Film Festival like the cinematic main character moment it is. This emotional doc dives into the life of Mariska’s real-life mom, legendary actress Jayne Mansfield, and drops on HBO June 27 — so prepare to cancel all your weekend plans and cry into your gold-rimmed rosé glass.

Mariska closed out her announcement with a mic drop:

“Making My Mom Jayne showed me that the universal can grow out of the personal…”

Translation: “I turned my family trauma into prestige content, and you’re gonna love it.”

So buckle up, Hollywood — Mighty Entertainment is here, and Mariska’s not just playing a boss on TV anymore. She is the boss. And as always, we are just grateful to be living in her Emmy-winning shadow.
