The Stranger Things cast just pulled a huge pay raise out of the Upside Down
Stranger Things has essentially become Netflix’s flagship series, and now the core cast of the show is getting a pay bump that seems commensurate with the amount of Stranger Things Funko Pops and novelty shirts that are filling up that weird back wall of your local Target. According to Deadline, the leads of Stranger Things—both the kids and the adults—have secured big raises, with Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp, and Caleb McLaughlin (the main boys) all reportedly going from about $30,000 per episode to somewhere between $200,000 and $250,000. Millie Bobby Brown’s bump was apparently even bigger, but Deadline doesn’t offer specifics.
