More casting news is here for Netflix’s new supernatural series “Stranger Things” (formerly known as “Montauk”) as Deadline is reporting that Cara Buono has landed a regular role.

Described as a love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, “Stranger Things” is set in 1980 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family, and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one very strange little girl.

Buono (pictured) will play Karen, the mom of Mike and Nancy, two of the kids on the search for the missing boy. She joins the previously announced Winona Ryder, Ross Partridge, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton.

The Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross) are writing, directing, and co-showrunning the series and will serve as executive producers along with co-showrunner Karl Gajdusek and Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen via their 21 Laps entertainment banner.

The series will debut in 2016.
