On My Block Season 3 is in limbo over pay raise dispute

Deadline

Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray and Diego Tinoco are scheduled to begin filming Season 3 of the coming-of-age drama in two weeks. But they are stll at an impasse over salary negotiations. They are each asking to go from $20,000 per episode to at least $225,000 per episode. But Netflix has only offered a raise to $40,000 per episode. "While actors sign multi-year deals when cast in a series (usually around six), it is customary for the performers of successful shows to seek raises after Season 2," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "The impetus for the salary demands by the On My Block cast was likely the big raises that the young casts of two hit Netflix series, Stranger Things, and 13 Reasons Why got heading into Season 3. The kids on Stranger Things reportedly went from around $30,000 to around $250,000 an episode, while the young cast members of 13 Reasons Why are said to have gone from $20,000 – $80,000 an episode to $150,000 – $200,000 an episode."
