The highest-paid actors on television for 2021 look a bit different than they usually do. Streaming services and premium cable channels including HBO and Showtime dominate the networks on the list. In fact, of the 29 highest-paid actors on television right now, only FOUR appear on traditional network TV show. And those four people rank number 21 through 24.
The rise of stellar programming on the small screen has been building momentum. HBO more or less kicked it off in 1999 when the “Sopranos” premiered. AMC did it with “Mad Men.” Netflix did it with “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black.” More recently, Apple and Hulu have entered the ranks with “Ted Lasso” and “Only Murders in the Building.” However, HBO and HBO Max blew everyone else out of the water with 11 of the top 29 highest-paid actors. Four of those actors come from one show – “Succession.”
