"Stranger Things" is one of the most-watched shows on Netflix.
Now its cast is being paid in the millions because of it.
Leading up to the fifth and final season of Netflix's hit "Stranger Things," there have been some major negotiations behind the scenes in which the cast regulars on the show — yes, close to 20 actors — went in together to renegotiate their contracts, according to Puck News' Matthew Belloni.
What resulted was Netflix offering four separate tiers for the cast to be paid under.
Below is a breakdown of the tiers and which cast members fall under each one.
