And you think production is going to share their profits from a finished series with the artists?
I don’t know if it’s still applicable to productions taking place today across the board, but SAG still exists so I have to believe a large number of hollywood productions still give residuals to people…?
If I’m getting this article correctly, they’re only getting paid for the success of the show within 90 days of release on a streaming platform. Everything else is based on the streaming service buying the license to show the series.
So the only way to maybe get them some additional pay would be for you to purchase it through some non streaming method like buying a dvd from amazon, or to wait for paramount to sell the license to a new streaming service and you take part in the whatever percentage of the service is required to watch the show within 90 days for them to get a bonus.
um… I think there’s more to this (for sag/aftra productions) -
residuals come into play when the project you worked on is distributed and exhibited beyond the remit of the original release, which includes the following:
Worldwide theatrical releases for films
10 exhibition days within 1 year on subscription-based TV
1 exhibition and a week of advertising-based video on demand (AVOD)
90 days of high-budget subscription video on demand (HBSVOD), which include platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Max, etc.
that beyond term is the key - and these properties have long tails.
but at the end the amounts are paltry compared to how syndicated residuals used to keep artists afloat.

I know for many it’s a pittance but better something than nothing at all.
I’m probably thinking too much into all this and will catch up sometime in the future after the apocalypse. thanks for the insight.
