Stranger Things Cast Gets Huge Pay Bump Ahead of Final Season
The cast of Stranger Things has received a huge pay bump ahead of the show’s fifth and final season. According to Matthew Belloni of Puck News, as Stranger Things features 20 series regulars, Netflix created four separate tiers with which to negotiate. The first tier, comprised of adult actors Winona Ryder and David Harbour, will receive $9.5 million. The second tier, consisting of original kid actors Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and Finn Wolfhard, as well as Sadie Sink, will earn just over $7 million. (For comparison, the kids made $25,000 per episode in season one.)

Metallica’s James Hetfield Dressed Up as Stranger Things’ Eddie Munson for Halloween
The love affair between Metallica and Stranger Things continued this Halloween, as the legendary metal band’s frontman, James Hetfield, dressed up as the popular Netflix series’ character Eddie Munson. Metallica shared a pic of Hetfield as Munson on their Instagram, with the singer-guitarist wearing the breakout character’s trademark denim vest over leather jacket along with a “Hellfire Club” T-shirt. Hetfield also sported a curly-mullet wig to match Munson’s hairdo. “Eddie Munson says Happy Halloween,” read the caption, with Hetfield throwing up the metal horns. The mutual admiration began when Munson (played by actor Joseph Quinn) shredded Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” in a key scene in the fourth season of Stranger Things. Metallica returned the favor when they duetted with Munson’s s...
Megan Thee Stallion Teases ‘Stranger Things’ Cameo On Instagram
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Taylor Hill / Getty Megan Thee Stallion seems more than ready to make the transition from rapper to actor. And after making her small screen debut on Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, is the hot girl coach about to find herself in the upside down?! A few days ago, the “Thot Sh*t” rapper shared a few pictures on her Instagram page that hinted at the possibility that she’d be making an appearance on Netflix’s Stranger Things and now we can’t wait for the next season to debut already. In the photos she posted this past Saturday (Oct. 8), Megan Thee Stallion poses in front of a building before sharing pics of herself holding a Stranger Things cue card, sitting in a director’s chair, and showing off a manicure with spiders crawling on her fingernails (g...
Hardwell to Talk Hiatus, New Music and Career Lessons at ADE 2022
With this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event only two short weeks away, organizers have finalized the conference’s list of speakers, which now includes Peggy Gou, Richie Hawtin and Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. Also on the docket is a special session called “Hardwell: The Return.” Now just three weeks removed from the release of his comeback album, REBELS NEVER DIE, the Dutch DJ will host an in-depth talk on why he took a hiatus from dance music, what he learned and how he’ll take those lessons into this new chapter of his career. “I’m really happy with the whole decision, and I’ve never been more productive and happy in the studio as I am right now,” Hardwell told EDM.com earlier this year. “It feels way more li...
Here’s Why Megan Thee Stallion Fans Think She’s Working With ‘Stranger Things’
Will Megan Thee Stallion be entering the Upside Down? The Hotties have reason to believe the rapper may be entering the Stranger Things universe in some capacity, after sharing a particularly eyebrow-raising photo to her Instagram on Friday (Oct. 7). Hidden in a photo carousel of her wearing a 2000s-inspired matching set, bold red curls and full glam, Megan popped in a photo of her holding a card in front of her face — black widow Halloween nails on full display — with the official Stranger Things logo on it. In the following photo, Megan sits in a black director’s chair that has Netflix’s logo emblazoned on its back. Billboard has reached out to Megan’s representatives, the Duffer Brothers and Netflix for comment. Though there is no word on what the “Her” rapper is cooking up with the str...
‘Stranger Things’ Star Caleb McLaughlin Talks About Dealing With Racist Fans
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Netflix / Netflix When Stranger Things was released to Netflix in 2016, the sci-fi show had viewers in a chokehold. The series, which centered around young teens and their journey through a mysterious underworld, was an instant hit. But, for one star, even at 14 years old, he knew that his experience wasn’t the same as his co-stars. Caleb McLaughlin plays Lucas Sinclair on the hit show and he told an audience at Heroes Comic Con Belgium that he experienced racism very early on. “It definitely took a toll on me as a younger kid,” he said. “My very first Comic-Con, some people didn’t stand in my line because I was Black. Some people told me, ‘Oh I didn’t want to be in your line because you were mean to Eleven [Millie Bobby Brown].’” According to Variety, Mc...
Caleb McLaughlin Recalls Experiencing Racism from Stranger Things Fans: “It Definitely Took a Toll on Me”
Caleb McLaughlin stars in one of Netflix’s biggest shows, but his experience hasn’t always been positive. At a recent Heroes Comic Con Belgium appearance, the Stranger Things star recalled encountering racism from fans of the beloved series. “It definitely took a toll on me as a younger kid,” McLaughlin said. “My very first Comic-Con, some people didn’t stand in my line because I was Black. Some people told me, ‘Oh I didn’t want to be in your line because you were mean to Eleven.’ Even now, some people don’t follow me or don’t support me because I’m Black. Sometimes overseas, you feel the racism, you feel the bigotry. Sometimes it’s hard to talk about and for people to understand, but when I was younger, it definitely affected me a lot.” McLaughlin recalled feeling less popular than his St...
