What kind of pay bump are the cast of Stranger Things receiving?
Much to fans’ dismay, Netflix’s Stranger Things will have one final season. From the creative minds of the Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things has taken audiences back to the 80s and to some horror movie roots.
The story originally followed a group of kids, consisting of Will Byers, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, and Dustin Henderson. When Will suddenly goes missing and a mysterious girl is found in the woods, not to mention a horrific monster terrorizing the town, their lives in Hawkins, Indiana change forever.
Since the first season, more characters join into the mix such as Max Mayfield, Robin Buckley, and Eddie Munson, while others became more prominent like Will’s mom Joyce, Jim Hopper, Mike’s older sister Nancy and Steve Harrington. At this point, the origins of the opening to the Upside Down has been revealed as well as how everything up until this point was the work of Vecna, AKA: Number 1.
Before season 5 airs, Puck News has revealed that the cast is receiving a pay bump upon the tier they were placed in. As some might not be able to access the Puck News article, Consequence TV shared the details.
