Mariska Hargitay Returning for "Law & Order: SVU" Season 15 After Closing New Deal

Bullet. Dodged.
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.
"Happy weekend. It's official. Season 15--I'LL BE BACK! xx m"
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.
