How Much Does The Cast Of This Is Us Make

Ever wondered if the Pearsons are rolling in dough as big as their emotional baggage? Of course you have! We've all spent countless nights sobbing with them. Someone's gotta pay for all those tissues.

The Big Three's Big Bucks

Let's talk about the "Big Three" first. Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia reportedly snagged around $250,000 per episode in later seasons.

That's some serious "jack in the box" money, right? They probably could've bought their own Big Three franchise by the end.

Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, and Justin Hartley weren't exactly struggling either. They also hit that quarter-million mark per episode.

Imagine having that kind of financial security. They could literally afford any therapist to unpack their fictional trauma.

Supporting Cast, Supporting Paychecks

But what about the amazing supporting cast? Were they just getting scraps?

Don't worry, they weren't exactly living like Jack and Rebecca in their early days. The actors who played their best friends also secured great paychecks.

While exact numbers are always a bit hush-hush, sources suggest they were still pulling in impressive salaries.

Is It Too Much? My Unpopular Opinion

Okay, here's where I might ruffle some feathers. Is that too much money for a TV show?

Look, I know they’re talented. And This Is Us did bring us all to tears every week. But that's more money per episode than I'll make in, well, a long time.

And let’s be honest, sometimes the plotlines were... questionable. Remember the cousin with the accent?

But hey, good for them! They entertained us, made us feel things (mostly sadness). So, maybe it's worth it?

The Streaming Era Effect

Think about it: This Is Us became a massive streaming hit. That's extra cash for everyone involved.

The streaming services are all hungry for content. And they're willing to pay big bucks for it.

It changes the whole game. The actors get paid for streaming views. The show also gets new life after.

The Real Takeaway

Ultimately, the cast of This Is Us earned a hefty sum. Did they deserve it?

Well, they worked hard, brought these characters to life, and gave us some serious feels. And we all watched it.

Maybe we should just be happy for them and continue binge-watching reruns. All while dreaming of our own Pearson-sized paychecks.

"Life is supposed to be a series of little moments, right? I don't want to miss any of them." - Jack Pearson, probably thinking about his bank account.

So, there you have it! A peek into the financial world of the Pearsons (or at least the actors who play them). Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go practice my ugly cry. Maybe I can get paid for it someday.
