Warning: Spoilers ahead for Netflix’s Hollywood season 1. Netflix’s Hollywood is Ryan Murphy’s latest creation, and as expected from the man behind American Horror Story, The Politician and other shows, Hollywood is splashy and over-the-top. And we’re sure the Hollywood Netflix cast salary isn’t too bad either.
Hollywood, which premiered on May 1, follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood as they try to make it in the entertainment industry. The show examines how race, sexuality, gender and privilege can affect one’s career and the opportunities one is afforded, especially around the hot new movie, Peg, which every character wants a part in. Along with some newcomers, the seven-episode series stars several Hollywood heavyweights, such as Patti LuPone and Holland Taylor.
While the exact numbers of the Hollywood cast salary are unclear, Netflix is known to fork over the big bucks to its actors. (For example, the two leads of Stranger Things are paid $350,000 per episode, so we’re sure veterans like LuPone and Taylor are making more than pennies.) The Hollywood Reporter also reported in 2018 that Murphy signed a $300 million deal with Netflix to create shows for them for five years. If Murphy’s Netflix salary is any indication of how much the Hollywood actors make, we can assume that their paychecks are sizable. While we don’t know the cast salary of Hollywood, there have been reports about the actors’ net worths. Find out about those figures ahead.
