Unfair Compensation Claims by Orange Is The New Black Cast Highlight Streaming Earning Disparity

The cast of Orange Is The New Black claims they were not fairly compensated for the success of the Netflix series, with some receiving less than £15 in royalties per year. Despite the show becoming Netflix's most-watched original production, many cast members have not seen significant financial gains. Some actors were paid the Screen Actors Guild minimum rate during filming, while others incurred personal expenses to be on the show. The series regulars eventually received up to £152,000 per episode, but the supporting cast missed out on substantial pay.
