Strange things has been a hit series on Netflix pretty much since its premiere on the streamer in 2016. Now, after the huge success of the fourth season, which was a huge hit on the TV show 2022 and with him fifth and final season of Strange things along the way, the cast would receive huge raises.
In a report from Puck, go upproxx , the cast of the hit series of the Duffer brothers has just closed the contracts for the fifth season. According to the article, the players entered negotiations together and were grouped into three tiers.
The first level consists of adult actors. That includes Winona Ryder (Joyce) and David Harbor (Hopper), who are set to earn $9.5 million for season five.
The second tier is the original cast of children, including Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnapp (Will), and Finn Wolfhard (Mike), plus Sadie Sink (Max), who joined the cast in second season. These kids are expected to make just over $7 million this season.
The third tier is actors who are between adults and children in age. This group includes Joe Keery (Steve), Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Maya Hawke (Robin), and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), who all reportedly made $6 million last season.
According to the article, level four is “everyone else” and they make “much less.”
Now you may have noticed that Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) has not been mentioned in any of these levels. That’s because, according to the article, she’s in a league of her own all the way and probably earns more than all the other actors. According to the report, her level “broke records” and she signed a “separate (and ridiculously lucrative) master deal with Netflix.” This separate treatment makes a lot of sense, considering she’s also the star and producer of constantly evolving Enola Holmes movie .
It should also be noted that this is a huge increase for everyone involved. Ryder and Harbor reportedly made $2.8 million in Season 3, which means they get a raise of over $6 million. Meanwhile, the kids reportedly made $25,000 per episode in Season 1, which also marked a huge bump in the young ensemble’s earnings.
Entering the final season of a show that has consistently broken records for Netflix and single-handedly helped earn streams to big cable win this summer These increases make a lot of sense. Also, as actors are more in demand for other projects, I mean, just look Sadie Sink’s upcoming projects for example, it seems natural that the beloved stars of Strange things would receive substantial wage increases.
It seems obvious to me that these salary increases are well deserved by the hardworking cast. They’ve been on the show for a long time, and with the fifth and final season on the way, I’m sure they’ll produce a product that lives up to the standards of the first four seasons.
Season 5 of Strange things probably won’t appear in TV show 2023 since it’s a big budget and a complex show to create. While waiting to see the final adventure, you can discover the first four seasons of the sci-fi phenomenon with a Netflix subscription .
