The parents for the Stranger Things kids got here together to renegotiate their salaries after the Netflix show’s success.
Throughout the Tuesday, May 28, episode of Michael Rosenbaum‘s “Inside You” podcast, Gaten Matarazzo was asked whether the forged worked collectively to receive a pay bump.
“I feel relatively everybody has those little specific things that they would love to see going forward,” Matarazzo, 21, noted. “But it surely’s a fairly collective effort.”
The actor recalled their parents getting involved because a lot of the important forged was underage.
Bringing a task to life. Stranger Things puts loads of work into making viewers feel like they’ve been transported to a fictional town in Indiana in the course of the ’80s — which incorporates transforming their actors into completely different people.

Fans were introduced to the residents of Hawkins, Indiana, when Stranger Things debuted in 2016. The series focuses on a fictional town where a series of supernatural events cause mystery and mayhem. After appearing on the show, the important forged including Matarazzo, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery quickly became household names.
Three seasons into the show’s high-profile success, The Hollywood Reporter noted alleged paycheck raises for the forged. Winona Ryder and David Harbour reportedly made $350,000 per episode, while the younger forged would herald $250,000. Meanwhile, the forged playing the kids akin to Dyer, 29, Keery, 32, and Heaton, 30, were bumped as much as $150,000. Brown, 20, nonetheless, was notably missing from the list because she allegedly negotiated her deal individually from the remaining of the younger forged.
Matarazzo, who’s currently filming the fifth and final season, admitted he continues to be not fully aware of what goes into getting a raise.

“Even now we’re like, ‘I don’t know what the hell all of this implies.’ We’re still the age of faculty juniors who for probably the most part live off of Ramen and Oreos. That hasn’t modified,” he quipped. “There’s still a lot that we’re learning from our parents daily. So it’s really good that they were collectively quite close to one another they usually could discuss what they might say going forward that may be best for all of us.”
On Tuesday’s podcast episode, Matarazzo weighed in on how being on Stranger Things modified his life financially.
“After all I understand all of the wonderful things it has done for me and my family. In the case of financial security, that’s just something that — growing up, it was an actual struggle after which suddenly it shouldn’t be. When you’re that young, you may’t really reflect or understand how incredible that’s in your family and also you,” he explained. “But then there is a component of it where you might be that young and you might be suddenly the breadwinner in your family if you end up 12. That shouldn’t be something that’s normal.”

Matarazzo is grateful for Stranger Things due to opportunities that got here from it.
“Those careers are all the time about peaks and values. With this show it is sort of clear and I’m thoroughly aware — and would love my skilled team — to grasp that I’m very OK with Stranger Things being very likely the largest thing I’ll ever do,” he admitted. “And it can probably be the thing I’m remembered for even when I consistently work after this.”
He concluded: “And I’m so cool with that so long as it facilitates happiness going forward, security and more work going forward. What more could I ask for? I don’t want to take care of a way of relevance at this point when it isn’t even something I particularly enjoy that much.”
