Stranger Things Reveals First Cast Photo For Season 2

By Tim Karan

You'll need to go to your own Upside Down to make out the first production photo from the second season of Stranger Things.

Netflix released the image on Twitter, and it offers our first look at all the returning kids along with two new cast members as they work on the upcoming season.

Although you could potentially hurt yourself trying to look at it, you can't miss Millie Bobbie Brown smack in the middle, providing photographic proof that Eleven will indeed be back.

If you don't feel like straining yourself, here's the lineup from left to right: newcomer Sadie Sink (Max), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Noah Schnapp (Will), Millie Bobbie Brown (Eleven), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Joe Keery (Steve) and newcomer Dacre Montgomery (Billy).


Almost nothing has been revealed about the plot of Season 2, but we do know a little about the two new additions thanks to a leaked casting call sheet. Sadie Sink, who began her career in the Broadway revival of Annie, will play Max, a "tough and confident girl whose appearance, behavior and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era." Max has a complicated history and doesn't trust many people.

Meanwhile, Power Rangers co-star Dacre Montgomery will play Billy, her "edgy older step-brother." He's good at playing drinking games, stealing girlfriends, and driving his black Camaro, but his charisma "conceals his violent and unpredictable" nature.

We also know the second season will pick up in the fall of 1984, and that filming is underway and scheduled through April. Season 2 will premiere sometime in 2017.

If you're looking for clues about what's to come, the Duffer brothers said there are plenty of hints in the new episode titles.
