On Sept. 22 the Law & Order franchise will go where it hasnt gone before a threehour premiere event in which all three shows will cross over into one another. Oh yeah and all three squads are helmed by fierce women.

Ayanna Bell Law & Order Organized Crime at the Law & Order premiere red carpet event on Sept. 19 and chatted about the female collaboration in the crossover scenes.

Hargitay who portrays the indomitable Capt. Olivia Benson on SVU told TODAY it was amazing to work with such badasses and such incredible human beings.

I loved Danielle from the minute I met her she said. Camryn and I have been friends for a long time. So I was just jumping for joy. And Ive been such a fan of hers for a long time that when she joined the Dick Wolf universe I was so thrilled and happy and just wanted to celebrate her.

Manheim noted Theres something really special when you have the captain the lieutenant these powerful women.

Truitt echoed that sentiment and said working with Hargitay and Manheim was so cool.

I just I love women and I love how powerful we are in this world she said.

Mariska is a sweet woman Camryn is a sweet woman. I like to say I am too Truitt continued. We have big hearts and were just happy to be in the positions that were in. So I think when we work together you get all of that gratefulness. You get all of the fierce talent all of the love just together. Were encouraging one another and lifting each other up. I think that thats really really important.

Hargitay said theres an effortlessness and a trust and an ease among the group.

Here are a bunch of women who have had quite a journey she explained. So its really fun to all stand together like superheroes.

The trio will come together Thursday Sept. 22 with the other members of their teams when complications arise in a case after a girl is shot.
