Andrew Lincoln salary: How much was Andrew Lincoln paid for The Walking Dead?

With AMC now launching its own streaming platform called AMC Premiere, the show could afford to pay its cast more going forward as it would have additional revenue from subscriptions to this service.

Generally, streamers have more cash for their projects and reward their cast and crews more generously.

Previously, AMC was simply a cable network and had money from national subscriptions but if AMC Premiere goes global then it could have more profits to invest in programming.

The Walking Dead’s high salaries are something of a rarity on US television with comedy usually coming out as king of the salaries with sitcom stars historically making much more than their drama counterparts due to the number of episodes and ratings as well as money from repeats.

The Walking Dead season 10 will return to AMC on February 28 and Fox UK on March 1
