Although the cast received less than the stars of HBOŌĆÖs Succession got paid for one episode, the bonuses are meant to recognize the showŌĆÖs success and the tremendous amount of revenue the series brought to Netflix. The show cost $21 million to produce, but it is now estimated to be worth more than $900 million to the streamer giant.
