Emmy Rossum's salary standoff has come to an end.

The Shameless star, who had been holding up the Showtime dramedy's season eight renewal, has come to terms with producers Warner Bros. Television on a new contract.

"Playing Fiona Gallagher has been one of the great privileges of my life. I'm so happy to continue w my SHAMELESS family! Back to work in May!" Rossum tweeted Wednesday, days after The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported that she was holding out for equal pay with fellow star William H. Macy — and more — after years of being paid less than her male counterpart.

Producers WBTV and Showtime did not immediately return THR's request for comment on her contract status or the show's official renewal, which Rossum indicated in her tweet. The season seven finale airs Sunday. Sources say Rossum had an offer of equal pay on the table. It's unclear if she received more than Macy.

Macy, 66, who stars as drug and alcohol addict Frank Gallagher, recently renegotiated his deal with WBTV for the yet-to-be announced eighth season and scored a raise that sources say puts his salary in the upper echelon of cable dramas. Rossum , 30, was seeking a similar deal — and to make more than Macy. The cast's last renegotiation a few years ago gave raises to all the main members of the ensemble. But Macy, who came into Shameless with an extensive film résumé and an Oscar nomination for his role in Fargo, always has been paid more than the rest of the cast.

Shameless has become a key piece of Showtime's original scripted lineup. The drama has pulled off the rare feat of airing twice in the same calendar year (this year) in a bid to fill the originals gap created by Homeland's delay to early 2017. Shameless also is a key asset for WBTV , which is attempting to sell more series to premium cable outlets as broadcast networks buy from their vertically aligned studios. But while the U.S. adaptation is a hit stateside, because it is based on a format it does not sell well internationally, limiting its value.
