Overview

• Jason Isaacs confirmed each cast member earned $40,000 per episode, totaling about $320,000 for the eight-episode third season.
• He called that sum “a very low price” compared with typical big-budget television salaries and said actors would have paid to be part of the show.
• Isaacs said he has no issue with equal compensation and noted he “never work[s] for money,” valuing the series’ prestige more than pay.
• Producer David Bernad explained the flat-rate policy began in season 1 to match limited budgets and ensure actors committed for creative reasons.
• The uniform structure applies equally to veteran stars and newcomers, removing salary negotiations and simplifying casting decisions.
