More than a handful of Golden Dragons, that’s for sure.
HBO have decided that their actors have done such stellar work on season six (and after the most recent episode we’d have to agree) that they deserve significant pay increases.
Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) will all earn upwards of $500,000 per episode of the seventh and eighth seasons of the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A seventh was recently confirmed with the confirmation of an eighth season something like a formality for what is one of the most popular TV shows in recent memory.
The same source also reports that contracts for other stars Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) are not yet completed, and no official word has been given on the status of contracts of Conleth Hill (Varys) or Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger), who have featured less prominently in the show’s most recent season.
Can we assume from this that the five stars will survive all the way through season seven? HBO have declined to comment.
