Here's what some of TV's biggest stars are set to be paid in upcoming seasons

The Rock, Sophie Turner, Meryl Streep and Jim Parsons are among TV's highest-paid actors.

Some of the world's most respected actors are making the move to TV to rake in millions.

Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep are two of the latest stars to sign on the dotted line for upcoming shows and both of them are being rewarded very handsomely.

As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, Streep is set to earn $A1.1 million per episode for The Nix.

Based on a novel by Nathan Hill, the show will be about a man's mother who reappears decades after she abandoned the family.

Robert De Niro is getting paid slightly less than Meryl Streep for his upcoming Amazon show created by David O. Russell. The 73-year-old will be paid $A1.01 million for each of the 20 episodes of the show which will also star Julianne Moore.

De Niro and Streep's salaries may be massive but they're not the highest TV paid actors.
