AceShowbiz - Sadie Sink is reportedly earning a tenth of the pay cheque her Stranger Things' co-stars have negotiated for season three. Sadie, 16, was introduced as the new character Max in 2017's season two, and according to TMZ her status as a latecomer means she has missed out on the bumper pay deals obtained by original castmembers Millie Bobby Brown, 14, Gaten Matarazzo, 15, Finn Wolfhard, 15, Caleb McLaughlin, 16, and Noah Schnapp, 13.
Documents obtained by the gossip website show Sadie earned just over $23,000 an episode for the most recent season, and will get an incremental raise of $1,000 for each subsequent series up until the eighth.
Last month, it was reported that the original cast of young stars had received massive pay hikes to sign on for a third series of the hit Netflix show, which is set in 1980s Indiana.
TMZ reported the popular cast members will earn up to $250,000 per episode, with Millie allegedly inking a deal which may even match the $350,000 her adult co-stars David Harbour and Winona Ryder receive.
Netflix bosses recently confirmed the show would be back for a third season, with the early stages of production beginning last month, but that fans may have to wait until 2019 for its return.
Three other teenage members of the original cast, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery, are reportedly set to receive around $150,000 per episode.
The show and its cast have won five Primetime Emmy Awards at last year's ceremony.
