Breaking Bad Star Aaron Paul Gets $0 From Streaming On Netflix
<
p data-content-element-selector=”p, .js-buylink-item-container” data-allowed-classes-selector=”js-buylink-item-container”> Breaking Bad is one of television’s most popular TV shows, but series star Aaron Paul is not taking home residual checks from Netflix, where the show is streaming in the US. Appearing on the picket line outside Sony Pictures Studio recently, The Independent reports that Paul said streaming companies now need to “pony up.”
“I don’t get a piece from Netflix on Breaking Bad to be totally honest and that’s insane to me,” Paul, who plays Jesse Pinkman, said. “I think a lot of these streamers know that they have been getting away with not paying people a fair wage and now it’s time to pony up.”
Sony Pictures owns the rights to Breaking Bad and Netflix paid the company a fee–presumably a massive fee given the popularity of the show–to stream it in the US. The show originally aired on AMC and has seen multiple extensions of the universe. A prequel series called Better Call Saul followed the shady lawyer Saul Goodman and Paul came back to appear in a small cameo. Paul also reprised his character for the Netflix movie El Camino, which takes place after the events of Breaking Bad.
Paul’s other Breaking Bad co-stars, including Bryan Cranston (Walter White) and Jesse Plemons (Todd) appeared on the picket line as well and shared their thoughts. Cranston urged the movie and TV companies to “come back to the table with us.” He went on to say, “They are not the villains” but, “We just want them to see reality.”
As for Plemons, he said the time has come to revisit and restructure contracts for TV and movie actors. “The way things were structured 10 years ago made a lot of sense and it made it more possible for journeymen-type actors, actors in the middle that are working just as a hard or harder,” Plemons said.
Breaking Bad series creator Vince Gilligan is moving on from the franchise for now. His next show, a genre drama starring Better Call Saul’s Rhea Seehorn, is moving ahead with two seasons at Apple.
Hollywood writers in the WGA guild have been on strike since May, while actors in SAG-AFTRA have been striking since July. They are seeking, among other things, better pay and terms for streaming residuals, protections against AI, and more.
