A million dollars an episode: Zendaya in illustrious company
Zendaya wouldn’t be the first TV star to break the $1 million per episode barrier. Jerry Seinfeld (68) is said to have achieved this first for his sitcom of the same name. The six main actors of “Friends” publicly enforced that they were all paid the same salary of around one million in the last season. Other series stars are said to have received the magic sum per episode, for example the main cast of “The Big Bang Theory” or “Game of Thrones”.
Charlie Sheen (56) was paid even better. At its peak, “Two and a Half Men” reportedly brought him $1.8 million per episode. The record is said to be held by Jennifer Aniston (54) and Reese Witherspoon (46). For their starring roles in “The Morning Show,” they reportedly rake in two million dollars for each episode. However, there are generally no reliable figures on salaries.
“Euphoria” can be seen on Sky. Here’s a direct link to the series.
