Ryan Murphy has undeniably become one of the most influential TV producers of the past two decades, if not the most important. With beloved series like “Glee,” “American Horror Story,” and “Pose” under his belt, he’s now set to return with “Grotesquerie”.

Fans of Murphy’s work know that horror is his cup of tea, and this new show marks his comeback to the genre in its rawest form. Premiering on September 25, the title promises a thrilling ride filled with blood, crime, and a mystery that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they binge-watch.

As is customary with any of his productions, there is a star-studded cast that includes famous names like Niecy Nash and Travis Kelce. Naturally, there’s a lot of curiosity about how much each performed earned for their roles. Here, we dive into the details.

What were the salaries for actors and actresses in ‘Grotesquerie’?

“Grotesquerie” centers around Lois Tryon and Sister Megan, a detective and a nun who must collaborate to uncover the perpetrator behind a series of gruesome murders that are not only devastating their community but also affecting their own lives.

The lead roles are portrayed by Niecy Nash and Micaela Diamond, with reports from Showbiz Galore indicating they earned $60,000 and $25,000 per episode, respectively. While Diamond, whose career is just taking off with seven credits, has not sparked much debate, Nash’s rumored salary has raised eyebrows, given her nearly 100 acting credits and established trajectory.

Naturally, comparisons have been drawn to Travis Kelce’s earnings, especially since he revealed that his role, though significant, may not be as central as those of the two leading women. Reports suggest he received $100,000 per episode, totaling $1 million for the entire series. If true, Kelce’s compensation is on par with that of industry veteran Courtney B. Vance, though Kelce’s rate is driven by his A-list celebrity status.

Another salary generating discussion is that of Lesley Manville, who was reportedly paid $40,000 per episode despite appearing throughout the series. Manville, a multi-award-winning actress with an extensive career in TV, film, and theater, is still applauded for her work in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread,” making this figure seem surprisingly low.

Lastly, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Raven Goodwin are said to have earned $20,000 per episode each. While Chavez’s salary seems reasonable given his two acting credits, Goodwin’s rumored pay has raised questions considering her 36 film and TV roles, many of which have been quite successful.

In summary, while TV industry salaries are often modest, the rumored compensations for “Grotesquerie” has sparked considerable conversation. However, if the production continues into a second season or beyond, it’s likely that these figures will increase.
