An average actor gets paid in the range of $15 thousand to $25 thousand for every episode they appear in. Well, Anya might have received in the same range when she appeared in Wanderlust, The ABC Murders, and even The Witcher.
In Wanderlust, where she appeared as Jennifer Ashman for five episodes, she must’ve made a total of $75,000 to $125,000. Likewise, for three episodes in The ABC Murders, her earnings might have been $45 thousand to $75 thousand.
While talking about her major role as Yennefer of Vengerberg in The Witcher, where she had a total of seven episodes to her name, she must’ve made somewhere around $150 thousand to $300 thousand. This doesn’t add up, does it?
Well, if you binge-watch Netflix shows, then you must’ve come across Stranger Things. The online streaming company paid its casts around $30 thousand per episode for the first two seasons, increasing them to $200 thousand to $250 thousand for the third season and after. Well, if this is their typical paycheck pattern, then Anya might also have earned the same during The Witcher, right?
Well, Chalotra has another season coming for the series, and if our above estimations are correct, she will earn just over $300 thousand by the end of the second season.
Now, let’s talk about her voice role in the YouTube Premium web series, Sherwood, which is available on YouTube. She portrayed the role of Robin Loxley in the series. This web series already has over 835 thousand views to date. Since Sherwood is produced by YouTube itself, they must’ve paid Anya the wage of an average voice actor, which amounts to around $6 thousand per month.
Since we know now what she’s been earning, let’s move on to her role as Yennefer in The Witcher, shall we?
Anya Chalotra in The Witcher
The Wanderlust star Anya Chalotra came to be, thanks to her appearance in The Witcher, where, as we all know, she portrays the lead role of the sorceress, Yennefer.
Anya’s role was that of a girl with congenital hunchback initially, but all changed when she was accepted in the Aretuza School of Sorceresses. She hated her body since childhood, and when she had the chance to change her look, she happily did it, though she had to pay the cost; the cost being the inability of bear a child. Well, the story later revolves around her trying to find ways to get back what she lost, the ability to become a mother.
Well, during her initial appearance, she had to use a mouthguard for the jaw misalignment and wear prosthetics to create that crooked posture. Well, the prosthetics strained her back during the shoot, and so, it was quite a painful experience for her.
I had a trapped nerve in my back that I had to get massaged out after paying her so long! It was very uncomfortable.
