Have you seen this new HBO pay scheme? Executives at the network and the soon-to-be re-renamed HBO Max sent a 13-page document to key talent agents and lawyers this week dubbed, in the most low-key language possible, “Performance-Based Contingent Compensation.” That’s the technical term for “backends,” of course, and the doc lays out new guidelines for how the company’s talent partners will be paid above and beyond their per-episode fees when their shows are deemed hits—and, importantly, the data used to determine what qualifies as a hit. The title may be boring, but the fresh HBO rules represent the first major change in how the town’s most prestigious outlet pays people in more than two decades.
