Mariska Hargitay is starting her own production company.
The 61-year-old Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress has founded Mighty Entertainment. The company will produce both scripted and unscripted films and television shows, multiple of which are already in development.
“At Mighty Entertainment, we aim to tell stories that connect us to our courage, curiosity, and compassion. We will challenge perspectives and shed light, all in the service of exploring our shared humanity. Launching this production company feels like a natural extension of my long and deeply rewarding creative journey, which has taught me that storytelling is both a mandate and an invitation. It has been a privilege to amplify underrepresented voices, and that personal mission will extend to this company,” Mariska said in a statement.
Mariska also elaborated on how Mighty Entertainment will affect her current career.

“It’s a really beautiful way to balance what I do with SVU, and scratch that itch of doing something completely different, and now I feel like I have the capacity and it won’t take anything away,” she told Variety.
“There are so many stories to tell — so many stories that are so basic to our humanity. I want to tell stories that make the world feel a little safer, cozier and give hope, while at the same time elevating different voices that have been marginalized or people who aren’t ready to come forward. There’s a safety in getting immersed in somebody else’s story,” she added.
Mighty Entertainment’s first project was My Mom Jayne, which premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and will be available for streaming on HBO on June 27.
“My experience making My Mom Jayne, my feature directorial debut, has underlined for me how the universal can grow out of the personal, and the gifts that come from re-examining accepted narratives. I’m thrilled to build this company with a powerful team dedicated to telling urgent, compelling, important stories,” Mariska said.
