Stranger Things: How much each cast member gets paid per episode

Stranger Things returned for its fourth season on May 27, with seven episodes ready for fans to binge.

Tomorrow (July 1), the second part of the series will drop on Netflix, giving viewers another two supersized episodes to watch. The first is an hour and 25 minutes long, while the second is a huge two hours in length.

The show's fourth series as good as it's ever been, with fans introduced to new characters such as Eddie Munson, who pretty much steals every scene he is in. Played by Joseph Quinn, Eddie is the boss of Hawkins High's D&D club, The Hellfire Club. And he recently revealed his mum is from Liverpool.

With many of the cast having been involved in the show since its conception some eight years ago, and some being as young as 12 when the programme began, we've taken a look at how much each star gets paid.

The stars of the show are said to be paid per episode. According to StyleCaster, the highest paid Stranger Things actors are Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers) and David Harbour (Jim Hopper), who receive $350,000 (around £280,000) each per show.

Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), and Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers) are each said to earn $150,000 (around £124,000) per episode. While this isn't to be sniffed at, it's considerably less than their younger co-stars earn.

Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) reportedly earns a huge $300,000 (around £247,000) per episode. The 18-year-old has been nominated for an Emmy and has also appeared in a number of other productions on the back of her Stranger Things success.

Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), and Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) are each said to receive $250,000 (around £206,000) per show. This is a huge jump from series one, when they were each paid $20,000 per episode.
