Yes, you read that right. The Game of Thrones actors are in for a major pay hike come the next season. And we are talking about some fantastic figures here.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the leads of the cast are looking to earn upwards of $500,000 per episode of season seven, which has already been announced, and in the likely eighth season. It consists of Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister).
But does that guarantee they will live through the series, which is famous for killing every character you begin to like?
The answer is a straight NO.
