The show has been picked up for an 11th season but the network is considering replacing Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni, TV Guide reports.
The crime procedural is The Peacock Network’s highest-rated drama and the two lead actors have reportedly joined forces in demanding pay rises and a share of back-end profits.
The pair's current $350,000-per-episode contracts will expire in May.
A representative for NBC said that "it is their policy not to comment on talent negotiations".
