Netflix has announced a number of new cast additions for the upcoming fourth season of “Stranger Things” and among those joining is A Nightmare On Elm Street’s Robert Englund.
England will play the recurring character Victor Creel, a man imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder he carried out in the 1950s.
Also joining the cast as series regulars are Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones), Eduardo Franco (Booksmart) and Joseph Quinn (Catherine the Great).
“Game of Thrones” alum Tom Wlaschiha, Sherman Augustus (“Into the Badlands”), Mason Dye (“Bosch”), and Nikola Djuricko (“Genius”) will join Englund as recurring characters in the upcoming season.
Jamie Campbell Bower will play Peter Ballard, an orderly who works at the psychiatric hospital. Eduardo Franco will play Argyle, Jonathan’s new best friend and fun-loving stoner and pizza guy. Joseph Quinn will play Eddie Munson, a metalhead who runs The Hellfire Club, Hawkins High’s official D&D club. Quinn’s character will likely be a big one as his character finds himself at the epicenter of the upcoming season’s mystery.
Tom Wlaschiha will play Russian guard Dmitri who befriends Hopper, who was revealed to be alive and in a Russian prison in the season 4 teaser. Sherman Augustus will play Lt. Colonel Sullivan, an intelligent, no-nonsense man who believes he knows how to stop the evil in Hawkins once and for all. Mason Dye will play Jason Carver, the stereotypical popular kid whose world begins to unravel as a result of the new evil threatening Hawkins and Nikola Djuricko will play Russian smuggler Yuri. Seedy and unpredictable, Yuri loves bad jokes, cold hard cash, and crunchy style peanut butter.
“Stranger Things 4” resumed shooting in late September following a six month production shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Show creators the Duffer Brothers have called this season “the biggest and most frightening season yet.”
