The first table read of Modern Family's season four scheduled for yesterday has been canceled.
Sofia Vergara, Julie Bown, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet want an increase in their salary: they all make $65k per episode and want to make $200k for each episode of the next season. Ed O'Neill has joined forces with the rest of the adult cast and they have filled a lawsuit against the producer 20th Century Fox to void their contracts.
Sources say the salary offer was as follows: $150,000 per episode plus a
$50,000 per episode bonus for season 4; $200,000 per episode for season
5, $225,000 for season 6, and up to $325,000 for an anticipated season
9. The cast is asking for much more, including more than double the
offered salary if the show goes 8 or 9 seasons, as expected.
Let's hope this gets settled quickly.
