Sean Astin, Paul Reiser and Linnea Berthelsen join Stranger Things season 2

November 8, 2016 by Gary Collinson

A few days ago Netflix released a cast photo for the second season of Stranger Things featuring returning stars Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery alongside new additions Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery, and now we have word on three more newcomers to the cast.

EW is reporting that Sean Astin (The Goonies), Paul Reiser (Aliens) and Linnea Berthelsen (The Desert) have all signed on to appear in the second season of the supernatural drama series. Astin 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 RadioShack”, with Reiser 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” and Berthelsen as Roman, ““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.”

Production on the second season of Stranger Things is underway now, and it is expected to hit the streaming service in 2017.
