As for Witherspoon the Apple TV salary negotiation has also cause renegotiation for her driving up the price of her salary on the second season of HBO's miniseries '
Little Big Lies', for which she will reportedly receive $1-million per episode. One Hollywood agent told Hollywood Reporter that if HBO matches Apple's price, "it inflates the whole ecosystem of television actors salaries." HBO programming president Casey Bloys wasn't concerned, though. He was quoted as saying, "It's not a shock to anybody that having a second season of an ongoing series is easier to have with those deals in place. Every outlet has to make their own decisions about economics that make sense for them. I'm not going to shake my fist and say, 'Darn it Apple!' If that's what made sense for them for that show, God bless."
