The fate of Showtime’s Shameless has been in question over the last week, as series star Emmy Rossum worked to renegotiate her contract in order to get equal pay with her co-star William H. Macy. Rossum’s negotiations halted the dramedy’s inevitable eighth season renewal, but according to the actress, her salary dispute has come to an end:
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!

While an official renewal has yet to be announced, Rossum’s tweet indicates that the news is forthcoming. The season seven finale airs on Showtime on Sunday at 9:00pm EST.
