The Duffer Brothers are currently working on the upcoming episodes, with some casting news having now been released by the streaming service.
First up, Priah Ferguson — who has some stand-out moments as Lucas’s sister Erica in the second season — returns as a recurring character.
According to a statement from Netflix, Erica “finds herself on a wild mission to save Hawkins from a dangerous and unexpected new threat.”
Also joining the show comes Maya Thurman-Hawke — the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke — who will be a regular.
She will play Robin, “an alternative girl who is equal parts sharp and playful. Bored with her mundane day job, she just wants a little excitement in her life… and gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a dark secret in Hawkins.” Fans are already shipping the character as a hopeful love interest of Steve.
Meanwhile, executive producer Shawn Levy recently teased a “new evil” coming to Hawkins in season three. A release date has yet to be announced by Netflix.
