Studios making more money while the talent makes less. Sounds about right. Its what Bravo has been doing for years now unless you're a big name.

I wonder what the contract will be for amount of seasons since casts can definitely ban together to get that good pay raise.

Unless the show is a top 5 performer for a network/streamer, though, I think they'd rather cancel the show than pay raises to creatives involved. Netflix canceled Santa Clarita Diet more because of pay raises for season 4 than because it was performing poorly, and since it was canceled 5 years ago now, it's even gained popularity.

Yeah, its more about hit shows than the mediocre rated ones. That hasn't ever changed really
