According to Variety's report, Millie will earn around $10 million for Enola Holmes 2. The figure will see her make history for receiving the highest upfront salary for an actor under the age of 20. (Millie turned 18 in February 2022.)

As well as portraying the lead character Enola, Millie is also a producer on the franchise, having a hand in all the behind-the-scenes aspects like casting and pre-production. It's also likely that she'll earn a producing fee on top of her acting fee, too.

Millie's $10m pay day for Enola Holmes 2 is also much, much more than what she would have likely earned for her work on Stranger Things 4.

It was previously reported that Millie earned as much as $350,000 per episode for her work on Stranger Things 3, putting her on par with both Winona Ryder and David Harbour.

In Variety's latest TV salaries report, Winona and David reportedly earned $450,000 per episode for Stranger Things 4. Millie's reported pay for the fourth season has not been revealed but it's likely that she earned a similar fee. With 9 episodes in the season, Millie would have probably earned upwards of $4 million for season 4.

With several more projects – and one more season of Stranger Things – in the pipeline at Netflix, it looks like that Millie Bobby Brown reign is not letting up any time soon!

She has become the youngest actor to receive the highest upfront salary for an actor under the age of 20. In a recent interview, she revealed that she wanted to be a part of the Enola Holmes series again. She said:

"It was amazing to be able to step back into the boots of Enola and really feel the way she is again; finding her voice. Having the first film constantly just be about character building, now we can actually indulge in a case of hers. It was really exciting... I would love to be a part of another one. I would love to see her do more cases, be put under pressure, be put in crazy situations, make her feel vulnerable again. I absolutely love seeing her back at work.
