You have to have been living under a rock (or in the Upside Down) to have not heard of Netflix smash-hit Stranger Things.

 

In light of the show's critical acclaim and massive audience, the stars of the show are set to see their wallets get fatter for season three, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

 

Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnapp (Will), and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) will reportedly be cashing in $250,000 per episode.

 

This is a huge jump from their season one and two paychecks, in which the young actors were pocketing in the low $20,000 range per episode.

 

 

While it remains unknown what Millie Bobby Brown (the enigmatic Eleven) is making, The Hollywood Reporter says that she separated herself from the other child stars while renegotiating and is making at least $250,000 per episode like the others.

 

The high school characters in the show are also getting pay rises, though they certainly aren't set to make as much as their younger co-stars. Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Joe Keery (Steve), and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan) will be earning $150,000 per episode, according to sources.

And finally, Winona Ryder (the tough-as-nails mum Joyce) and David Harbour (Jim Hopper) will be reportedly making $350,000 an episode. They can buy plenty of fairy lights with that kind of money!

We can't wait for the sci-fi drama's return!
