ABC is ready to open its wallet for the stars of “Lost.”

Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, who play Jack Shephard and Kate Austen, respectively, have begun negotiating new deals to boost their weekly paychecks.

Both stars earn $150,000-per-episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That would equal $3.3 million for a 22-episode season.

Once word leaked out that Fox and Lily were negotiating, the show’s other cast members–who earn roughly $80,000-$90,000-per-episode–contacted their reps to start new contract talks, according to the report.
