Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will all earn more than $500,000 (\u00a3338,000) per episode from season seven.<\/p>\n

Deals signed in 2014 take them up until the end of the current series.<\/p>\n

But the Hollywood Reporter says an option in those contracts allowed them to be extended, with a salary increase, to seasons seven and eight.<\/p>\n

The final episode of the sixth series, called The Winds of Winter, airs in the UK on Monday and will be 69 minutes long.<\/p>\n

The title has fans speculating that The White Walkers will finally break through The Wall and make their assault on Westeros.<\/p>\n

Winter Is Coming was the title of the first episode of Game Of Thrones, broadcast on 17 April 2011.<\/p>\n

The Winds Of Winter is also the long-awaited sixth book in George R. R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice and Fire series.<\/p>\n

Previous volume A Dance With Dragons was released in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Game of Thrones actors aren’t the highest paid ever though.<\/p>\n

Charlie Sheen earned $1.8m (\u00a31.2m) per episode for Two and a Half Men in the final year of his eight-year contract in 2011 before being sacked.<\/p>\n
