The cast of Grey's Anatomy are hearing the money bell drop.
They've been given huge salary bumps under a new deal.
The show's star Ellen Pompeo - who plays Dr Meredith Grey - will receive the highest pay raise, Reuters news agency reports.
She will rake in a whopping $200,000 per episode.
Her co-stars TR Knight, Justin Chambers, James Pickens and Chandra Wilson have also received pay hikes, taking home $125,000 per episode.
Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh and Katherine Heigl are currently still in negotiations.
However, it's rumoured that co-star Isaiah Washington may not receive a raise in light of the recent controversy surrounding his use of a homophobic slur, Reuters reports.
The cast's salary boosts come in the wake of a reported pay dispute between ABC TV network executives and Katherine back in February.
Grey's Anatomy is in its third season in the US - but they've still got a long way to go to match those Friends stars and their $1m an episode.
