£2m payday is coming for Game Of Thrones stars

THE top five stars on Game Of Thrones are set to become the highest-paid actors in television history.

They have each signed monster new deals that can earn each of them up to a £2million per episode when the fantasy drama returns to UK screens on July 17.

 

British cast members Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and Lena Headey and American Peter Dinklage, along with Danish co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, have all signed golden contracts for the show’s seventh and final eighth season.

They contain complex bonus clauses based on shared percentages of syndication payments received from more than 170 countries in which the series is broadcast.

The five will also benefit enormously from repeats of Game Of Thrones, especially in America, where the show averaged a record-breaking 23 million viewers per episode of last year’s sixth season.

 

Media analyst Mike Raia said: “Cable network HBO is breaking the bank to ensure its most successful scripted programme ever goes out with the kind of flourish fans all over the world have come to expect.”

Production costs for the final season have also rocketed, with studio executives promising some of the most spectacular scenes ever witnessed on TV.

 

 

So they are probably getting almost to 20million by season. WOW. But it's no surprise that GOT makes HBO not only an worldwide name everywhere, but merchandising, streaming numbers from HBO GO, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say it made HBO more than 500Million$

Is there any word as to how long each episode's gonna be? I'd love a 80-90 min scheme. Would make up for the reduced number of epsidoes

They'll probably be the same amount of 60-70 minutes. But agree, the last episode at 90 minutes was great.

do you know why so many characters (including the hound) are heading to the north?  My thinking was that they wanted to fight the monsters

The Hound is in the Brotherhood and the Brotherhood just hangs out in the Riverlands. Melisandre is heading to the Riverlands because she was expelled of Winterfell by Jon. Arya is in the Riverlands and I assume she'll want to go to Winterfell obviously.

 

 

 

O.o and Melisandre and Arya both will probably meet on their path
