- Main members of the "Stranger Things" cast are set to earn from $6 million to $9 million-plus for season five.
- Millie Bobby Brown has a separate lucrative deal, according to Puck's Matthew Belloni.
The cast of "Stranger Things" is getting a raise for season five.
Puck's Matthew Belloni reported on Thursday how much the show's top actors will be making for the next, and final, season of the Netflix hit.
The cast members' salaries are on four tiers, according to Belloni, with Winona Ryder and David Harbour at the top. However, Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the superpowered Eleven, has a separate lucrative deal not included in the four tiers.
- Ryder and Harbour are set to make $9.5 million each.
- Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, and Sadie Sink will make "just over" $7 million.
- Other series regulars — Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery — will make "just over" $6 million.
- And everybody else will make "much less," according to Belloni.
Netflix did not immediately return a request for comment from Insider. It is unclear when season five will start streaming.
Brown's separate deal with Netflix also includes the "Enola Holmes" movies, and "The Gray Man" directors Joe and Anthony Russo's next Netflix movie "The Electric State," according to Belloni.
Variety reported last year that Brown would make $10 million just for the "Enola Holmes" sequel.
The "Stranger Things" cast has come a long way. Each of the male actors in tier two started out in season one making $25,000 an episode, according to Belloni, or $200,000 for the season. Sink was not in season one.
By season three, they were making $250,000 per episode, The Hollywood Reporter reported in 2018.
"Stranger Things" is one of Netflix's biggest hits. Season four is the streamer's No. 2 biggest release of all time, after "Squid Game," with 1.35 billion hours viewed in its first 28 days of release.
