Resolving a months-long
behind-the-scenes cliffhanger, Mariska Hargitay has inked a new deal to return
for Law & Order: SVU‘s 15th season, the actress trumpeted on Saturday via
Twitter.
NBC execs, which renewed SVU
earlier this month while negotiations with Hargitay were still going on, aren’t
the only ones breathing a sigh of relief. The show’s fans — who watched as
Hargitay’s alter ego Olivia Benson literally dodged a (potential) bullet in the
closing seconds of last week’s season finale — can take comfort in knowing
their favorite heroine will survive the ordeal.
The financial terms of the
deal are TBD, but it’s safe to say that Hargitay — who pocketed a cool $500,000
per episode for Season 14 — will hold onto her title as TV’s highest-paid
actress. (Source)
