‘stranger things‘ will come to an end with its fifth and final season. With each delivery, the salaries of the protagonists have been increasing, reaching spectacular figures despite the young age of some of the performers. The salary of the actors will also rise for the fifth installment and what the stars could earn has been leaked.
Information published by ‘Puck’ has revealed that the cast of ‘Stranger Things’ has met with Netflix to renegotiate their agreements for the final season. According to the outlet, Netflix divided the cast into four levels during the round of negotiations.
In it highest level would be Winona Ryder and David Harborthat they would take 9.5 million dollars for the entire season. Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard and Sadie Sink would make up Tier 2, with earnings set at $7 million.

Millie Bobby Brown, out
Notably Millie Bobby Brown is a special case, since it has a particular agreement with Netflix, with whom it participates in other projects such as the ‘Enola Holmes’ saga. Therefore, his contract is different from his companions and provides him with larger profits.
While ‘Stranger Things’ season 5 salaries are very high, there are precedents of even more scandalous figures on the small screen. The best-known example is ‘The Big Bang Theory’, whose actors earned $900,000 per episode in the final season, so they totaled $21.6 million during season 12.
One of the central plots of the season 5 will revolve around Vecna, since, as Jamie Campbell Bower anticipated, he will return to take revenge on the protagonists. “He’s angry, he’s rightfully angry, I don’t think he ran away licking his wounds in misery. He’s rebuilding himself and he’s out for blood. They’ve really pushed, it’s that classic Jason Voorhees thing: they’ve made a big mistake,” he said. NME.
“Even though revenge plays a big part in his relationship with Eleven, I think he probably still wants to take her with him and live in a different way because she’s a part of him and he sees a lot of himself in her,” he added.
