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.

Half a million an episode. Not bad at all. I'm glad she agreed to sign on for another season. While the show can make it without Elliot Stabler, I'm not so sure they could survive without the character of Oliver Benson. She's the heart of the show, imo.
