It’s only been a few days since Netflix announced their hit show Stranger Things would get a second season, but it looks like production is already pushing full steam ahead. The Hollywood Reporter has just dug up a casting call looking to fill three new cast roles in their supernatural series.
Astute fans of the show noticed that the series basically broke down into three plots, each following a different style of classic movie tropes. You’ve got Mike, Dustin, and Lucas as the kids embarking on a Spielberg adventure. Then there’s Nancy and Jonathan in the teenager monster movie, and Joyce and Jim in a supernatural government conspiracy tale. So it’s only fitting that this latest role call for new actors seems to add one new character to each of the plot lines.
Joining the kids will be Max, a 13-year-old tomboy who is new to town and has a mysterious past. Her older brother is 17-year-old Billy, a cocky and muscular troublemaker whose violent outbursts fuel rumors that he killed someone at his last school. He’ll undoubtedly be mixing things up with Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, and the rest of the teenagers.
Finally, there’s the more mysterious Roman role, which is listed as a part for either a man or a woman aged 30 to 38. This character came from a broken family of drug addicts and spent many years homeless. Another person from Hawkins Laboratory? A drifter who ends up encountering something from the Upside Down? We’ll have to wait until 2017 when season two debuts on Netflix to find out.
