With the worldwide success of the Stranger Things franchise, the fandom is expecting that the cast of the second most-streamed show on Netflix is now swimming in thousands of dollars!

The kids and supporting casts who starred in the first two seasons of Stranger Things reportedly received about $30,000 each episode. They each received about $510,000 as a result. The cast negotiated their pay in advance of season three, thus they received an increase. They received about $2 million in total, or $250k each episode, in season three. Therefore, several of the cast members had already made over $2.5 million before season four even premiered.

The veterans, on the other hand, undoubtedly made more money (sometimes even twice as much), largely due to their prior experience and overall presence in Hollywood.
