All of you ‘Law and Order: SVU’ fans can breathe a sigh of relief: SVU stars Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay have both signed two-year deals to stay with the series. This is after months of what Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello called "tense negotiations."
[I]ndications are that a very happy compromise was forged that sweetens
the duo’s $385K-per-episode salary. In exchange, both actors agreed to
add a second year to their pacts."
The show has only been renewed for one season, but since Mariska and Chris signed two-year deals, it means that if the show is renewed for a second season, they are guaranteed to be a part of it.

I wouldn’t have watched it without them as the stars.
i love SVU because of them! I wouldnt have watched it either without them
wouldn’t be the same if they were not there.
I couldn’t imagine SVU without them… so glad they’re not leaving!
Is there a new season on right now? Or when does a new season start? Maybe I should get into Law and Order…
“Mariska Hargitay” Isn’t that the phrase used in Love Guru??
Chris Meloni HAS to be the HOTTEST man alive! His versatility in acting…his un abashed lack ofemgarrasment showing off his body (full frontal nudity by the way) in Oz…..my lord….I would love some guy on guy action with him…actually I’d be too scared! Bit I’d love to watch!!!!(Watching him kiss Tobias really got my motor running)
YAY! The show just wouldn’t be the same without them. I’m so glad she is well again.
she is looking well.
Phew…I love them both. I have a total crush on Meloni. My husband always calls him a “meathead” – I tell him that must be my type!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
And, I think Mariska is on of the most beautiful people in the world. I might have a girl crush on her, too.
LOVE this show. Really the only Law and Order I watch anymore. It definitely wouldn’t be the same without the two of them!
I love them, too! So glad she’s well again.
SVU used to be my favorite, before Anthony Anderson & Jeremy Sisto joined the “original” L&O. I still heart Olivia & Elliot, though!
I love SVU, it’s one of my favourite tv shows so I’m glad they are doing at least 2 more seasons. Don’t think the show would work without Meloni & Hargitay tbh….
And they should be….they are awesome in SVU!—em’s
I’m a big fan of this show and the two of them, as well. I wish I had their kind of paycheck, shoot!
