Series have shifted to mini-rooms, sources say, and they typically pay WGA scale. By the sixth season, each point is worth $150,000 to $189,000. Season two pays $15,750 per point if it’s an hour $12,600 if it’s a half-hour (so a showrunner with 10 points on a half-hour show would get a bonus of $126,000 for season two). Showrunners can get a dollar per point if their show survives past season one.
“Longevity is where people really get paid,” a source says. Disney, for example, uses a Series Bonus Exhibit (SBE) for things like longevity, ranking and critical acclaim. While big-ticket overalls get the attention, these days it’s all about the backend. While Netflix doesn’t let writers participate on the backend, some other studios will still offer “the glorified 5 percent of net” - though odds are they won’t see that money. As with other roles, day-and-date releases have changed the calculus for feature writers as box office bonuses become a thing of the past. In the upper echelon, directing fees top out at about $20 million, and for an even smaller percentage of that top tier, box office bonuses are still a possibility.įirst-time feature writers can generally bring in between $75,000 to $100,000 more established scribes earn anywhere from $150,000 to $600,000, with some top-end outliers seeing $1 million to $2 million.

“That’s why you’re seeing major movie stars migrate to TV,” says one rep. At the streamers, true A-listers can score $500,000 an episode and up.

On the TV side, there’s been a “seismic change” in episodic fees, with actors seeing the type of pay that used to only happen after a renegotiation. Little-known actors leading their first feature can expect SAG-AFTRA scale of $65,000. But another famous face, Harry Styles, reportedly only brings in $500,000 to $1.5 million. The ever-in-demand Zendaya reportedly gets paid “a fortune” comparatively - and, says a source, is making $8 million to $10 million for MGM’s Luca Guadagnino-helmed Challengers.
