“Law & Order: SVU” has dodged a bullet with the contract renewals of its main stars, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, after ongoing reports of negotiation disputes. Hargitay and Meloni have both agreed to a one year contract and with the option for one additional year. According to THR the duo netted themselves one heck of a healthy paycheck in the renewal:

Despite the conglomerates and particularly NBC Universal being in cost-cutting mode, Hargitay and Meloni are said to have boosted their most recent salaries of about $385,000 an episode. In a rare feat for show talent, they have been able to negotiate a piece of “SVU’s” lucrative back end, sources said.

Taking all into account, Hargitay’s and Meloni’s paychecks are expected to grow to more than $400,000 an episode, solidifying Hargitay’s position as the highest-paid woman in television and Meloni as one of the top male earners.

SVU has also inked a deal with a new ADA, Christine Lahti, who will be trading off with the returning ADA played by Stephanie March after the first four episodes next season.
