‘Stranger Things’ Season 2: Three New Characters Revealed

When Stranger Things was officially renewed for a second season earlier this week, it was also confirmed that its already large ensemble would be expanding. Now, we have some more detail into the backgrounds of three new characters in Season 2, which will launch on Netflix sometime in 2017.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hawkins is going to include characters named Max, Roman and Billy next year, with the first two tapped as series regulars. Read on for THR’s description of these characters, obtained in a casting breakdown:

“Max is a tough and confident 13-year-old female whose appearance, behavior and pursuits are more typical of boys than of girls in the era. She has a complicated history and a difficult relationship with her stepbrother, Billy, that's made her protective of her past and generally suspicious of those around her. She's also good on a skateboard, which she uses to get around pretty much everywhere.
