House of Dragons Cast

Before we go through, how much the House of Dragon cast salary is?; Let's discuss the previous Games of Thrones cast salary per episode to have a calculative idea. Variety reported in 2017 a list of actors' names who bagged massive income per episode. In the list was the name of some of the GOT main cast, five of whom made a whopping $500,000 per episode for the final two seasons. Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coaster, Kit Harrington, Lena Headey, and Peter Dinklage are the five main cast with massive earnings from the hit series.

With the popularity of GOT series, the House of Dragons cast could easily be assumed to be receiving a salary in a similar range. However, we are in the first season, and Variety again shared the reports from its sources that House of Dragons, with ten episodes, has invested under $20 million per episode for its first season, which totals 200 million dollars. 

So, if we look at the Games of thrones investment in the first season, it was $6 million per episode, and it reached $15 million per episode in the last two seasons. So, if we are buckled up for more upcoming seasons, the House of Dragon main casts are certainly going to earn way more than $500,000 per episode.

Considering the income, it seems the main HOD cast might be bagging around 200 to 400 thousand dollars per episode.
