Shameless leading lady Emmy Rossum has apparently resolved her equal-pay salary dispute with Showtime, clearing the way for a Season 8 renewal.
The actress shared the news on twitter early Wednesday:

Rossum had been seeking salary parity with co-star William H. Macy. Rossum’s camp reportedly argued that the actress should be paid more than Macy to make up for the seven seasons in which she earned considerably less than the veteran actor.
Showtime has yet to officially renew Shameless for an eighth season. The series’ current seventh season wraps on Dec. 18.
