We cannot wait for the next season of the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things.” As if we needed any more incentive to tune in, THR is reporting that the cast is growing in very good ways as three more actors have signed on for active duty!
Danish actress Linnea Berthelsen has been cast as Roman. Per Netflix, she’s “an emotionally damaged, magnetic young woman who suffered a great loss as a child. Although she does not live in Hawkins, she is mysteriously connected to the supernatural events at the lab…”
Sean Astin (The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) will play Bob Newby, “a kindhearted former nerd who went to high school with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Hopper (David Harbour) and now manages the local Hawkins Radio Shack.”
Paul Reiser (pictured; Aliens, Whiplash) has been cast as Dr. Owens, “a high-ranking member within the Department of Energy on a ‘clean-up’ assignment, tasked with containing the events of last year.”
The nine-episode “Stranger Things” Season 2 arrives in 2017 and will be set in the fall of 1984. Previously announced new cast members include Sadie Sink as Max, a tough and confident girl whose appearance, behavior, and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era, and Dacre Montgomery as Billy, Max’s hyper-confident and edgy older stepbrother.
