Hargitay, who had asked his workload be reduced, they work fewer hours for the same salary of $ 385,000 per episode, according to the site. Halfway through the season, his character, Detective. Olivia Benson, will be promoted to a supervisory position, during which a new female detective, presumably played by Hewitt, will take place.

Hewitt, who won raves for her guest spot as a rape victim on SVU earlier this season, has not received an official offer yet, says Time.

As Hargitay partners in fighting crime, Christopher Meloni is seeking a pay raise and has not yet closed a deal, according to Time.

Representatives of NBC and Dick Wolf had no comment. An email to Hargitay representative was not immediately returned.

What do you think? Hewitt is an adequate substitute for Hargitay? Can any superior bonding Benson and Stabler?
