Mariska Hargitay & Christopher Meloni sign on for two more seasons of Law & Order: SVU
Detectives Benson and Stabler aren’t going anywhere. Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have signed new contracts to return for the nineth season of Law & Order: SVU, cashing in on two-year contracts that would pay the duo at least $333,000 per episode. The new contract now makes Hargitay the highest-paid actress on TV today, leaping over Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer.
There had been a lot of speculation over the contract negotiations and the possibility that the two might not resign because of the money issue… something that seemed might come true with the announcement of the hiring of Adam Beach.
Law & Order: SVU was just picked up for next season, but with the new contracts, fans can be assured the franchise series will be around for at least another two seasons.
