Zendaya’s performance in “Euphoria”, one of HBO’s biggest hits, earned her an Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for both seasons 1 and 2. For season 2, which premiered in January 2022, Zendaya became an executive producer making her the youngest person, at the then-age of 25, to ever get an Emmy nomination for producing.
Belloni’s report on TV’s most astounding salaries also listed a number of other A-list celebs with seven-figure salaries, including Jason Sudekis on “Ted Lasso”, Michael Keaton on “Dopesick” and Elisabeth Moss on “Shining Girls”. While Belloni says determining these salaries “is an inexact science,” he proposes that John Krasinski is currently TV’s highest paid actor for his work on “Jack Ryan”, receiving an alleged $2 million per episode.
