Game of Thrones has continued to be phenomenally popular and therefore lucrative with season 6, so the cast are getting a bigger piece of the pie.
After infamously protracted negotiations, The Big Bang Theory cast are thought to currently be earning $1 million an episode.
Despite the show’s immense popularity, big award hauls and critical acclaim, it’s not the highest-paying TV series out there.
That amounts to a tidy $5 million each a season, although the final two are actually expected to be shorter than the usual 10 episodes, possibly each consisting of seven.
