What do you do when your kids save the world twice? Apparently, you give them a massive raise.
The cast of Netflix’s Stranger Things have reportedly renegotiated their salaries for Season 3 of the hit show, and they’ve come out of it pretty darn well. The kids — Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Noah Schnapp — will be making about 12 times what they’ve made up to this point, at about $250,000 per episode.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Winona Ryder and David Harbour are making about $100,000 more than the kids per episode, likely because they have been in the business for quite a while.
Millie Bobby Brown — much like her character, Eleven — remains a mystery. Some sources say she’s making as much as the top tier, while others believe she’s making $300,000 per episode, right between the other kids and the adults.
Die hard fans of Joe Keery’s Steve Harrington may be upset to hear that he’s in the bottom of the salary spectrum, making about $150,000 per episode. It seems like one of the internet’s favorite “dads” is still making up for his boorish persona in Season 1.
