Mariska Hargitay, who was hospitalized twice and operated on for a collapsed lung earlier this year, has committed to another season of NBC's Law & Order: SVU, a rep for producer Dick Wolf said.

Chris Meloni, who plays her partner, the enigmatic Det. Elliott Stabler, also inked for another year; Variety reported that it is believed each will earn about $400,000 an episode this season.

Both will be on hand, show spokeswoman Pam Golum said, when taping resumes next week in New York.
