In an interview from Saturday, Henderson told E! Online she would love to be on the hit NBC show. "Yeah, wouldn't that be awesome," The Brady Bunch star said. "Or maybe I could be Mariska Hargitay's mother or grandmother."
"I'm totally obsessed with [Law & Order]," Henderson said. "I can't wait for the new ones to start." Henderson will have to wait until September 24, 2015 for Season 16 of the hit show.
'Law and Order SVU' Season Premiere Will Be One Hour Long But 'Packed' For Fans
Although some fans were worried about the show's chances of coming back after contract negotiations, creator Dick Wolf said the show was never in crisis.
"There are negotiations every year," Wolf told Digital Spy in June. "The show after 15 years is very expensive for an hour drama. So the network wanted it back, it was just a question of 'Can we afford to have it back?'"
Season 15 was critically applauded as one of the best seasons of the show ever. "If we can keep doing that every year - if [showrunner] Warren Leight can keep up the marathon pace," Wolf said, "you never know what's possible. I'd love it to happen."
The show is getting close to the 20 seasons the original Law and Order was able to stay on NBC for. "That's five more years, which is daunting but possible," Wolf said about SVU reaching that milestone. "I must say that I think this last season of SVU was probably the best in 10 years."
