The highest ever... How much were the wages of the heroes of the "Friends" series in the "Reunion" episode
The "Reunion" episode of the American series "Friends", which aired on May 27, brought many moments of fun and tears for actors and fans alike, and it also brought something else to the six stars, which is the highest wage.
And when the series' protagonists Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt Le Blanc reached the end of their television careers, they were able to negotiate a salary of $1 million per episode, which was a huge deal at the time, and is still considered an incredibly high number even. Now, however, they managed to break that number in the episode "Reunion".
According to Variety, the six actors each received $2.5 million for the "Reunion" episode, in exchange for returning to embody their beloved characters on the small screen.
At first, negotiations took place with the heroes of the series “Friends” for each of them to receive one million dollars for participating in the episode, but they refused the offer, according to the American newspaper, “The Wall Street Journal”.
The heroes of the series “Friends” received one million dollars for one episode in the last two seasons of the series (the ninth and tenth), and this number was not very common at that time in the drama market, with the exception of some special cases, such as actors Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt, who received one million dollars per episode for the season The last of their series "Mad About You", and Kelsey Grammer, who earned $ 1.6 million for each episode of the last two seasons of his popular series "Fraser".
The "Friends: Reunion" episode gathered all six of its main cast members to talk behind the scenes of their work on the hugely popular series, and included interviews with celebrities and fans, and was shown on the US digital platform "HBO".
