Reese Witherspoon And Nicole Kidman Set To Earn Big In Season 2 Of 'Big Little Lies'

Hey there, TV fans! Let's take a moment to celebrate some well-deserved success stories. Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman are on the brink of becoming two of the highest-paid actresses in television history. How cool is that? The reason behind this incredible achievement? A significant salary hike leading up to the much-anticipated second season of HBO's hit show, 'Big Little Lies.'

Now here's the scoop: According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Reese and Nicole are set to earn a whopping $1 million per episode in the upcoming season. That's a massive leap from their initial earnings in the range of $250,000 to $350,000 per episode in the first season. And let's not forget, these figures don't even account for the additional income they'll earn as executive producers on the show. So, the final paychecks are going to be even bigger. Talk about talent paying off, right?

Higher Paychecks All Around

It's not just Reese and Nicole who are seeing a boost in their earnings. The entire cast of 'Big Little Lies' has negotiated higher rates for the second season. Initially conceived as a limited series, the show was extended due to its critical acclaim and massive popularity. This gave the cast significant leverage in salary negotiations. In fact, Reese is already set to earn around $1.25 million per episode for her upcoming Apple TV project—a drama centered around a morning news show co-starring Jennifer Aniston. This put her in a strong position to secure an even better deal for 'Big Little Lies' Season 2.

We’re only going to do it if we feel like it’s really as good as the first season. So we’re just thinking about ideas." But let's be honest, with these powerhouse actresses at the helm, we know it’s going to be something special. We can't wait to see what they've got in store for us!
