While Jeremiah only spent $300 dollars on an engagement ring for Belly on The Summer I Turned Pretty, happy to report that Gavin Casalegno can afford to drop way more $$$ on a diamond in real life 'cause...turns out this show pays! If you've been wondering how much Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin makes for everyone's favorite highly dramatic summer romance, we've been doing some research and think we have a pretty good idea of the cast's per-episode salary. Let's dive in.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Is The Biggest Show on Prime
According to FlixPatrol, The Summer I Turned Pretty is the number one show on Prime as of July 24—ahead of Head Over Heels, Ballard, We Were Liars, and Countdown. In other words, it's making Amazon a ton of money thanks to an extremely loyal and engaged viewership. We also know that Amazon is willing to spend on the show just based on the soundtrack. Like...licensing all that music does not come cheap!
Prime Is Known for Paying Celebs a TON
Example? Chris Pratt earned $1.5 million for The Terminal List, according to Variety. Meanwhile, John Krasinski allegedly took home $2 million per episode of Jack Ryan.
Obviously, Chris and John were both coming on board Prime with multiple blockbuster movies and TV shows backing them up—so it seems unlikely that the cast of The Summer I Turned Pretty are making as much as they did. To illustrate the vast range in celeb salaries, we can turn to Jeffrey Tambor, who was making $275,000 per episode of Transparent according to the NY Post—a pretty huge difference!
So, What Does The Summer I Turned Pretty Cast Earn?
Their exact salaries aren't know and probably won't be revealed, but according to The Things, the cast's net worths are all hovering between $500,000 to $1 million. Which implies that they're making in the tens of thousands (or maybe even hundreds of thousands) per episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Of course, the show has also turned them into influencers with brand deals, so money is rolling in from their heightened platforms as well.
Either way, now that everyone is officially capital F Famous, expect Gavin, Lola, and Christopher's per-project rate to increase significantly for whatever comes next.
