Exclusive: Netflix's OnMyBlock stars score sizable pay raises
have secured sizable salary increases for season three.
Following a month of renegotiations with the streamer, the critically praised comedy's four original leads — Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray and Diego Tinoco — plus a fifth star — Jessica Marie Garcia — have signed new deals and are already in rehearsals for season three ahead of this week's first table read of the new cycle.
Sources say Capri, Genao, Gray and Tinoco all negotiated together, with Netflix adding in Garcia to the mix. The four leads will see their $20,000-per episode fee that they earned for the first two seasons jump to $65,000 per-episode for season three. That deal was made for a 10-episode season. Since season three consists of eight episodes, that brings them to $81,250 per episode. The deal also includes a bump from $650,000 to $850,000 for a potential fourth season and $1.
As part of the renegotiations, Netflix added co-star Garcia — who was promoted to series regular in season two after recurring in its freshman run — to the mix. She, too, will be part of the same salary structure as the show's four original leads.The four stars had been seeking $1.75 million for the entire eight-episode season — or $218,000 per episode. That would have been more than the collective $200,000 the stars earned for each of the first two 10-episode seasons.
Still, while the cast is happy with the new deals, the new deals are far short of what the supporting cast of leads had been looking for an offer comparable with the supporting cast of the YA drama, which is considered a bigger show both domestically and internationally, sources say.
