Stranger Things’ cast is reportedly set to receive a huge pay raise for the Netflix series’ fifth and final season.
According to a report by Puck, the cast came together to renegotiate their deals with Netflix. This has divided the entire cast of Stranger Things into four tiers. Tier 1 features adult stars Winona Ryder and David Harbour, who will receive $9.5 million for the eight-episode final season. While Tier 2, which includes the four young male leads and Sadie Sink, will earn over $7 million. Tier 3 will feature actors such as Joe Keery and Natalia Dyer, who will receive just over $6 million, and Tier 4 will consist of all other cast members.
Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven on the show, is paid through a separate overall deal with Netflix.
Most recently, actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in Stranger Things, came out as gay. He posted the news on TikTok, where he confirmed that he told his loved ones about coming out and that he was “more similar to Will than I thought.”
“When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know,’” he captioned the TikTok.
