The actresses are each getting $200,000 to shoot the pilot for "Brothers and Sisters," then will get an additional $600,000 even if the series is not picked up, sources told TMZ.com. If the show does make it into the ABC lineup, Flockhart and Griffiths will get $100,000 per episode.

Flockhart has refused numerous offers since "Ally McBeal" went off Fox TV, but Harrison Ford's longtime squeeze was reportedly drawn to her character of a right-wing talk host who is forced into running a business with her siblings after the death of their father, TMZ.com said.

Other cast members include Balthazar Getty, Ron Rifkin and Jonathan LaPaglia.
