If all have signed the contracts then I guess Cercei survives S7.

quote:

According to reports, the top five cast members from the hit HBO fantasy drama could earn themselves up to £2million per episode. PER EPISODE.

That’s a whole £1.2million more than the Friends’ £800k average per-episode, although, it should be noted, that was back in 2003.

According to reports, British cast members Emilia Clarke (who plays Daenerys Targaryen), Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) join US co-star Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Danish co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) in having signed contracts for the seventh and eighth seasons.

It was claimed last November that the big five would be earning £890,000 per episode.

But this new report claims they’ll be able to increase their wages to up to £2million per episode thanks to ‘complex bonus clauses’ enabling them to earn the big bucks thanks to shared percentages of syndication payments from the 170 countries around the world which air Game Of Thrones, according to the Daily Express.

The rumoured pay packets will make the GOT cast the highest-paid actors in television history.

It takes all of 3 seconds to google it.
There's a pretty big difference between $2M and $2.6M.

I heard GRR Martin and HBO increased Joffrey to £5mill per episode and then killed him off right before the new contract went into effect.

It's why they killed Hodor. He made the most per word of dialogue.

Cersei has to be around until very near the end. Jaime, too. It's all there in the books.

That's more than 12.5 million per episode. If I remember correctly, the budget for last season was 10 million per episode, and it was 6 before that. I wonder how much the budget will be this year.

Edit: I guess part of this salary is from bonuses?

Hope I never hear these actors whine about being asked by fans to take pictures or discuss the show when they're making this kind of money.

Of course George will never finish the series, he is too busy swimming in his cash.
