I week ago, Deadline reported that that Netflix had started paying cast members on shows affected by the Coronavirus pandemic-imposed industrywide production shutdown, which is being treated as for…
I hear the sticking point for studios has been series that had been scheduled to go into production but start of filming was pushed because of the ongoing health crisis. I hear studios’ labor executives have been arguing that the delayed production start is de facto a hiatus and actors should not be paid, some also invoking the time limit they have on series regulars payed over $20,000 an episode.
What Netflix did for actors on series, which were put on hold before they were set to go into production, is pay their minimum guarantees. That’s episodic fees for the minimum number of episodes each regular cast member is guaranteed on a show each season per their contract . After speaking to various sources, the general consensus is that we may not see another studio match Netflix’s terms as many appear reluctant to pay actors anything now. After some back-and-forth with SAG-AFTRA, I hear HBO agreed to a payment schedule that includes giving actors 25% of their pay now, 25% when production on their show was supposed to start and the remaining 50% when filming actually commences. The network declined comment.
