Stranger Things Gets Four New Cast Members As Hawkins High Becomes The Focus

The long-awaited Stranger Things fourth season is almost here. The movie has a wide fan base and attracted record viewership on Netflix. It has also drawn a broad, active, and international fan base, which was left disappointed when the pandemic caused the delay of the series fourth season. The series currently has no release date, though filming for the show began on September 28 in Georgia last year.

Last month, a teaser for the fourth season was released, with a voice clip originally from season one of the series playing at the end.

Netflix Announces Four New Recurring Characters

Netflix announced on Wednesday that the science fiction horror drama will get four new recurring characters. They are:

Amybeth McNulty (Anne with an E) will play Vickie, a cool, fast-talking band nerd who catches the eye of one of our beloved heroes.

Myles Truitt (Black Lightning) will play Patrick, a Hawkins basketball star who has friends, talent, and a good life… until shocking events send his life spiraling out of control.

Regina Ting Chen (Queen of the South) will play Ms. Kelly, a popular guidance counselor who cares deeply for her students — especially those struggling the most.

Grace Van Dien (The Village) will play Chrissy, Hawkins High’s lead cheerleader and the most popular girl in school. But beneath the seemingly perfect surface lies a dark secret.

From the new cast members and their roles in the show, it is predictable that focus will return once more to Hawkins High, even though various news outlets reported that the show will likely shift its focus from Hawkins due to the teaser for the series fourth season ending with the tagline “We’re not in Hawkins anymore”. Other new cast members set to appear in the upcoming season 4 of the series include Robert

“Freddy Krueger” Englund as an especially scary mental patient and Game of Thrones actor Tom Wlaschiha as one of Hopper’s Russian captors.
