Game of Thrones' lead cast gets contracts extended for possible season 7 with 'huge raises'

The leading cast members of Game of Thrones have signed contracts for the possible seventh season of the hit fantasy drama, it has been revealed.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, US network HBO has offered its principal cast members "huge raises" for seasons five and six that will make them some of the highest-paid actors on cable television.

Leading actors who were on board for six series have completed renegotiations that will see their current contracts extended, if the show continued further.

Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldan (Jaime Lannister) are paid the most as the "A" tier on the series.
