The cast of Abbott Elementary have negotiated sizable pay raises for season 4...
The six original Abbott Elementary series regular cast members, creator Quinta Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter and Chris Perfetti have renegotiated their contracts with the series’ lead studio, Warner Bros. Television, all securing big pay bumps, sources tell Deadline.
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Brunson, who is under an overall deal at Warner Bros. TV that covers her services as executive producer on Abbott Elementary, will have an acting salary in the $350,000-$400,000 range per episode this coming season as she continues to play idealistic young teacher Janine Teagues, I hear.
Williams, who received a Golden Globe for his role as Gregory Eddie, and Ralph, who won an Emmy for playing Barbara Howard, will be at $250,000 per episode, while James (Ava Coleman), Walter (Melissa Schemmenti,) and Chris Perfetti (Jacob Hill) will be making $200,000 an episode, I hear.
The percentage salary increases are said to be in the triple digits, doubling and sometimes tripling the actors’ previous paychecks.
William Stanford Davis, who plays Mr. Johnson, is not on the same track as he started as a recurring before getting promoted to series regular in Season 2. Still, I hear he also has received a generous raise, going up to $100K an episode.

Good for them, unlike Terrance Howard and Taraji Henson who both claimed they were underpaid on Empire
They deserve it. This is a great wholesome show. That is rare these days. I grew up in the 80's and 90's when television was still good.
That principal on that show is hilarious
Empire was a struggling Fox show. This is a prime time network hit.
Kudos to them! They deserve it
Well deserved. I love that show!
