The Big Bang Theory is rumored to be a billion dollar industry, and Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco are looking to cash in. Parsons, Galecki, and Cuoco, along with original castmembers Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are renegotiating their contracts. Helberg and Nayyar are in a different league, but will still get a good six figure contract. Parsons, Galecki, and Cuoco are looking to get 1 million an episode, along with a higher point on the backend.
This is important, because Bang is expected to return in the fall, but the cast isn’t signed to any contracts. They technically don’t have to report to work. They’re done, unless they get resigned. Which means, this time, they’ll probably get what they want.
