"And exhale. It's episodes like tonight that make me SO GODDAMN PROUD to be a part of BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION! Fact. ??? Harington, Turner, Cunningham, Houton, Hivju, Rheon, Sapochnik, Weiss, Benioff, take your bow."
So, if you are a fan of the show, you won't be too surprised to learn that the main actors have reportedly agreed a major pay increase for the next two series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, leads such as Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) will each earn upwards of $500,000 per episode of season seven. If they earn that amount for the seventh then they will presumably earn the same for season eight but that hasn't been confirmed yet because the plot for that series has yet to be decided. Some of the other leads such as Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) have yet to strike a deal about their wages. They last received a pay rise in in October 2014, which had an option for season seven.
