Skeleton Crew is the new series that will expand the Star Wars universe in a big way, as its eight episodes, which make up the first season, will star Jude Law (Captain Marvel) and multiple mega-talented young actors.
The actor who once belonged to Marvel as Yon-Rogg now brings Jod Na Nawood to life. The action, adventure and science fiction story follows a group of ten-year-old children who are Force-sensitive and lost in the galaxy.
Lucasfilm usually grants George Lucas‘ franchise productions a big budget, like with The Mandalorian, which had a $120 million budget per season. Here, check out how much this one cost and how much the main cast earned..
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s rumored cast salary
Although Andor is Disney+‘s most expensive live-action series, Skeleton Crew isn’t far behind, ranking third with a budget of $136 million. The Hollywood Reporter noted that this is $15 million more than The Mandalorian.
Screen Rant indicated that with a total of eight episodes, each episode of the upcoming TV show would cost around $17 million, which is significantly more than other popular Star Wars productions like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.
The fact that this action drama (to be released on December 3) has such a large budget means it has been able to attract industry figures like Jude Law, who is the highest-paid actor in the cast.
Although the two-time Oscar-nominated actor for Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley has not commented on his pay, Showbiz Galore reported that he might have earned $500,000 per episode, totaling $4 million.
