Production for the popular TV show The Big Bang Theory season eight has finally gotten underway this week, with the first table reading reported to have taken place yesterday (August 6). The production became delayed as new contracts with the leading cast could not be reached. Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting will earn $1 million per episode for the next three seasons, with actors Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar – who play the characters Howard and Raj – trying to negotiate similar remuneration as their co-stars. Helberg and Nayyar will now reportedly earn around $70 million each over the three-year deal, and will remain on the show until the end of season ten. The new season of The Big Bang Theory premieres on CBS on Monday, September 22.
