This past summer, a little known show called Stranger Things made its debut on Netflix. No one knew much about it, including its cast of unknown young actors, its mysterious sci-fi plot, and its 1980s setting. But it didn't take long for the nostaglia and genius of Stranger Things to wow everyone around the world with a Netflix account, including several celebrities and just about all of Hollywood. The kids who starred on the show have since blown up on social media, and have made appearance on shows like Jimmy Fallon, and even the Emmys. With so much success, the series was bound to get a second season, and now we finally know two new faces that'll be coming to Hawkins, Indiana.
Well to start things off, we know that the majority of the original cast will be returning, specifically the kids Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin. The main mystery is whether Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven will be returning, but that will likely remain under wraps until the show returns. We can also awesome we'll be seeing Will's mom, Harper, Jonathan, and Nancy return for the next set of adventures. We now have confirmation that Joe Keery will return as bully turned fan favorite Steve Harrington, and Noah Schnapp will return in a much larger capacity as Will Byers.
As far as the new cast goes, both Montgomery and Sink will be playing two new characters who cross paths with original gang, and are brother and sister. Sink's character is named Max and is described as "a tough and confident girl whose appearance, behavior and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era. She has a complicated history and is generally suspicious of those around her." Montgomery on the other hand, who we'll see next year as Jason in Power Ranger is playing her older brother Billy who is "Max’s hyper-confident and edgy older step-brother. He steals girlfriends away from their boyfriends, is great at drinking games and drives a black Camaro. But lurking under his apparent charisma, is a violent and unpredictable nature."
Sink's character will most likely be interacting with the main group of kids, where as Billy will probably cross paths with Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan. We still don't know how these two will factor into the plot, but we do know they'll be important. There's still one more new character who has yet to be cast according to The Hollywood Reporter, and that's Roman who is "a male or a female of any ethnicity between the ages of 30 and 38. After growing up homeless with a drug-addicted mother, he or she suffered a great loss at an early age and has been seeking revenge ever since. Roman is ultimately an outsider who doesn’t understand how to connect with people." We'll most likely find out who's playing Roman in the coming weeks before season 2 starts shooting this month.
