Netflix doesn't shy away from paying its stars high salaries.
Performers who are already better known get a lot.
What do you actually earn by starring in a Netflix series?
The answer depends on several factors.
First of all, the chances of getting a high salary are better
if a series is a success
.
In this case, actors often renegotiate their fees for further seasons.
In addition, it is crucial
how well known a star is
.
Successful performers attract more attention, which is why they also ask for a higher fee.
The
picture
took a closer look at the information available on Netflix salaries and compiled insider details.
It turns out that Netflix * and other broadcasters and streaming services pay completely different sums of money.
This often depends
on the negotiating skills of the respective star
.
The following information is largely based on inside information. It has not been said whether they really correspond to reality. They merely mark out the approximate framework in which the salaries of the stars move.
Netflix: The streaming service's top earners
Of course, not all Star salaries are approximate.
Only some sums came to light.
According to
image
information, for example, actor
Steve Carell should get
one of the highest salaries.
In the USA in particular, he achieved great fame thanks to his leading role in the series "The Office".
For each episode of the
“Space Force” series
, he received
around 828,000 euros
.
It should be noted here, however, that Carell started the comedy and was involved in writing the scripts at the same time.
It is possible that he was not only paid this high sum for his acting performances.
In any case, the high salary could be one reason why Netflix took a noticeably long time before the shooting of a second season was confirmed.
Far behind in second place is
“Altered Carbon” actor Anthony Mackie
with
394,000 euros per episode
.
In this case, the high costs could have been a reason why the streaming service canceled the SciFi series after only two seasons.
Even
Henry Cavill
as
"The Witcher"
is located at
330 000 euros per episode
among the top earners.
It can be assumed that he will get even more money for the second season.
The "Riverdale" actors earned comparatively little for the third season of the series.
The four main actors are said to have received just
33,000 euros
per episode
from The CW.
The stars may have renegotiated for the following seasons.
Also shocking:
"The Crown" actress Claire Foy
received only
38,000 euros per episode
for the 1st and 2nd season
, compared to her colleague
Matt Smith with 48,000 euros per episode
.
In retrospect, Netflix is said to have admitted unfair treatment and paid the actress an additional 220,000 euros.
