Succession will be returning for a third season on HBO and the cast is going to be making a lot more money for their work!

THR reports that the seven main stars of the series are getting pay raises for the third season.

Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Matthew Macfayden, and Nicholas Braun will all be making around $300,000 to $350,000 per episode. Brian Cox, who won a Golden Globe earlier this year for his performance as patriarch Logan Roy, will be making more than the rest of the cast.

It is being reported that most of the cast was earning below $100,000 per episode for the first two seasons. It’s very common in Hollywood for the casts of successful series to renegotiate their pay after two seasons.

The first two seasons of Succession are currently streaming on HBO Go and they’ll be available on the upcoming streaming service HBO Max as well.

The second season of HBO’s hit series Succession is coming soon and the network has released the official trailer for the new season!

Beginning where season one dramatically left off, season two of this series follows the members of the Roy family as they struggle to retain control of their empire, and while the future looks increasingly uncertain, it is the past that threatens to ultimately destroy them.

Brian Cox leads the cast of the series, which also includes Kieran Culkin, Nicholas Braun, Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Jeremy Strong, Matthew Macfayden, and more.

Succession is getting tons of Emmys buzz for its first season and THR predicts that it will get a nomination for Best Drama Series and likely some acting nods too.

Season two premieres on August 11!

Anne Rice recently revealed that she has obtained the rights to develop a television series based on her Vampire Chronicles books. Now, she is dishing on her dream cast!

The legendary author envisions a show like Game of Thrones for her book series.

While Anne did not reveal her pick to play Lestat, she did dish on her pick for Louis. “It’s Louis’ beauty that attracted Lestat to him, and I would hope it would be a beautiful actor like Matt Bomer. Somebody with that incredible beauty. Brad Pitt did a beautiful job in the original film, and he set the bar very high when it comes to physical beauty,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
