Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Demi Moore negotiated parity with lead Billy Bob Thornton at about $740,000–$770,000 per episode for Season 3.
- Ali Larter is said to have more than doubled her previous pay to roughly $350,000 per episode and to have received a talent deal as part of her new arrangement.
- Breakout younger series regulars Jacob Lofland and Michelle Randolph were reportedly raised to roughly $130,000–$180,000 per episode while other originals received large percentage increases.
- Billy Bob Thornton is not part of these immediate renegotiations because he is working under a separate three-year contract that would be revisited only if the show is renewed for a fourth season.
- Paramount and producing studios declined to comment on the reported figures and the raises are being presented as a signal that strong streaming performance can give ensemble members early leverage when a show becomes a flagship hit.
