'Stranger Things 5' starts filming in May 2023

The fifth and last season of 'Stranger things' is expected to break audience records on Netflix, after season four of the show was the most-watched thing in English in the history of the platform.

Negotiating with the cast

The expectation has put the cast of the show in a privileged position when it comes to negotiating the contract for the last season. According to the media 'Puck', some have even raised their salaries to more than 1 million dollars for each of the 8 episodes of the following season.

80 million in salaries

Netflix is willing to sign a blank check in order to finish on a large scale what is now the most representative show of the platform. And when we say a blank check, we actually mean more than 80 million dollars that are fully invested in just the cast.

1 million per episode

According to said media, Netflix has established a four-level system to assign the salary of the cast depending on the relevance of the character in the series and out of it. Next, we will take a look at the millionaire salaries of the 'Stranger Things' cast.

 

Millie Bobby Brown - Eleven

She is the number one star of the show and that is reflected in her salary. The young English actress signed an exclusive agreement with the platform and a millionaire contract.

The star of the show

On this agreement, Millie Bobby Brown was not only defining her conditions for 'Stranger Things 5', but also for the 'Enola Holmes' franchise and the new project of the Russo brothers, 'The Electric State'. Just to give us an idea of the numbers, according to TMZ, the actress was paid 8 million dollars for her role in 'Enola Holmes 2'.

Winona Ryder - Joyce Byers

9.5 million dollars - When the show started, Wynona Ryder was the most important actress in the project. The actress will get paid 1.2 million dollars for each episode of the last season.

David Harbour - Jim Hopper

9.5 million dollars - The actor wasn't as famous as his co-star Wynona, but through the years and thanks to the show, David Harbor's popularity and prestige have risen.

Gaten Matarazzo - Dustin Henderson

It was agreed that the youngest members of the cast, who now thanks to the show have become enormous stars, will receive 7 million dollars for the last part of 'Stranger Things'.

Noah Schnapp - Will Byers

7 million dollars - The fictional son of Wynona Ryder, Will, is said to be the key to resolving the main plot of the science-fiction show.

Caleb McLaughlin - Lucas Sinclair

7 million dollars - Caleb McLaughlin will also receive the same amount as his castmates. The actor has evolved in every season of the show and has a bright future in Hollywood.

Finn Wolfhard - Mike Wheeler

7 million dollars - The actor, who is already involved in many important projects, is in the same salary range as his castmates. We are sure that thanks to this salary he will be able to continue his career in cinema, television, and music.

Sadie Sink - Max Mayfield

7 million dollars - Although her character arrived in the second season of the show, Max has become one of the most relevant characters in the plot. The actress fits perfectly with the main cast.

Natalia Dyer - Nancy Wheeler

6 million dollars - She plays one of the most surprising characters in the show. Her development from an annoying and superficial big sister to a smart and powerful woman is one of the best of the entire series.

Charlie Heaton - Jonathan Byers

6 million dollars - Although he started off as an outcast, he developed to be one of the crucial characters in the show. We are sure that he is going to have many projects in Hollywood.

Joe Keery - Steve Harrington

6 million dollars - He was the most hated character of the first two seasons of the show and now people could not imagine 'Stranger Things' without him. His bromance with Dustin is one of the best friendships in TV history.

Maya Hawke - Robin Buckley

6 million dollars - Robin was another character who joined the main cast in later seasons. However, her natural and honest performance since the beginning of the third season has turned her into a very important character.

 

Jamie Campbell Bower - Vecna

Although we still don't know the actor's salary, we know that the evilest character in the show is not on the same level as the rest of the cast.
