New cast named for “Stranger Things” S2

“Stranger Things” season 2 keeps getting stranger. Days after the first photo of the original cast members' return, a batch of new names have been revealed to join the continuation of the tale in Hawkins, Indiana.

Danish actress Linnea Berthelsen will play Roman, “an emotionally damaged, magnetic young woman who suffered a great loss as a child.” Sean Astin will play Bob Newby, “a kindhearted former nerd who went to high school with Joyce and Hopper and now manages the local Hawkins RadioShack.” Finally, Paul Reiser will play Dr. Owens, “a high-ranking member within the Department of Energy on a 'clean-up' assignment, tasked with containing the events of last year.”

Nothing else official was revealed about these characters.

In addition to the return of Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapps, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery, Sadie Sink will play the 'tough and confident' tomboy Max, while Dacre Montgomery will play Billy, her 'hyper-confident' older step-brother.

The new season will premiere on Netflix next year.
