Stars from the hit television show join together to negotiate a pay increase.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, actors Johnny Galecki (Leonard), Jim Parsons (Sheldon), and Kaley Cuoco (Penny)are negotiating a raise.
TV Guide reports that Galecki, Parsons, and Cuoco are each currently receiving $325,000 an episode and are looking to raise it to $1 million per episode.
The decision comes after co-stars Mayim Bialik (Amy) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) secured raises while making new deals with Warner Bros. to secure their future with the show.
Bialik and Rauch will bring their earnings up to $100,000 an episode, less than half of what PArsons, Galecki, and Cuoco are currently making.
Stars Simon Helberg (Howard) and Kunal Nayyar (Raj) are also negotiating in order to receive raises. They will be working together.
The Big Bank Theory premiers next week and is also nominated for a prime time Emmy for best comedy, as well as a best actor nomination for Parsons. It is currently the top scripted comedy on television beased on total viewers, beating ABC's Modern Family.
