Netflix’s mega hit Stranger Things has unveiled the cast additions for the upcoming fourth
season, along with more details about elements of the story, including what Hellfire Club
is. This news comes from Deadline, Variety, and of course, the Stranger Things social
media pages.
Joining as new series regulars are Jamie Campbell Bower from The Mortal Instruments: City of
Bones, and Sweeney Todd, Eduardo Franco from Booksmart and American Vandal, and Joseph
Quinn from Catherine the Great and Howards End. Set to recur in Season 4 are Game of
Thrones alum Tom Wlaschiha, Sherman Augustus from Into the Badlands which we recently discussed
in another video, Mason Dye from Bosch and The Goldbergs, Nikola Djuricko from In The
Land of Blood and Honey, and last, but not least, Robert Englund, famous for playing
the horror movie icon Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The title of Season 4’s opening episode is The Hellfire Club. Earlier this month,
Stranger Things‘ Twitter account started teasing the club, raising speculations among
fans about what kind of club it is. And now, the description of Eddie Munson, who is actually
Joseph Quinn’s character and not Levon Thurman-Hawke’s, provides an answer. Eddie is an audacious
80’s metalhead who runs The Hellfire Club, Hawkins High’s official D&D club. Hated
by those who don’t understand him — and beloved by those who do — Eddie will find
himself at the terrifying epicenter of this season’s mystery.
A psychiatric hospital, which we know to be Pennhurst Mental Hospital, will be a setting
in Season 4 with two of the new characters tied to it. Series regular Jamie Campbell
Bower will play Peter Ballard, a caring man who works as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital.
Maybe Ballard is the “Warden Hatch” from the leaked character descriptions. Tired of
the brutality he witnesses day after day, will Peter finally take a stand?
Recurring player and legendary Hollywood actor Robert Englund will play Victor Creel, a disturbed
and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder
in the 1950s. I previously speculated that Ashe will be test subject number 1, and much
like Warden Hatch, maybe Ashe is just a codename and the real name all along was Victor Creel.
However, it seems like we can officially rule out the test subject theory as Creel will
just be a serial killer.
Stranger Things 4 will feature two new Russian characters, none of them played by Russians.
In the first Season 4 teaser, released in February, “The American,” who we know
to be Jim Hopper, was seen in a Russian labor camp in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka,
“where he will face dangers both human…and other,” per the series creators, the Duffer
brothers. German actor Tom Wlaschiha will play Dmitri,
a Russian prison guard who befriends Hopper. Dmitri is smart, cunning, and charming…
but can he be trusted? Serbian actor Nikola Djuricko will play Yuri, a seedy and unpredictable
Russian smuggler who loves bad jokes, cold hard cash, and crunchy style peanut butter.
I guess Dmitri, who looked like a villain in the teaser back in February, is actually
much nicer and friendlier than he looks, but it’s still possible that he could double
cross Hopper.
In other developments, Jonathan Byers is getting a new best friend, Argyle, who will be played
by Mexican-American actor Eduardo Franco, a fun-loving stoner who proudly delivers delicious
pizza pies for Surfer Boy Pizza. That set photo that I talked about earlier today? It
may be Argyle who was working all along. Also, as evidenced by his audition tape from this
other actor who auditioned for the role, Argyle will be giving life advice to Jonathan, especially
now that it’s practically confirmed that him and Nancy are having relationship issues.
But overall, Jonathan will definitely be getting more scenes this season, which is an excellent
change of pace for his character, especially after seeing how he got benched for seasons
2 and 3. The remaining new characters are both recurring.
Lt. Colonel Sullivan will indeed be played by Sherman Augustus. An intelligent, no-nonsense
man who believes he knows how to stop the evil in Hawkins once and for all….
And last, but not least, Jason Carver will be played by Mason Dye. Jason seemingly has
it all — he’s handsome, he’s rich, he’s a sports star, and he’s dating the most
popular girl in school. But as a new evil threatens Hawkins, Jason’s perfect world
begins to unravel. It looks like we were dead wrong about Myles Truitt being Jason, and
we would like to formally apologize for that. Same for Levon Thurman-Hawke as Eddie. As
for Jason, his girlfriend is definitely Molly, based on his two previous audition tapes,
but we don’t know who she’ll be played by. This only confirms that there are more
actors that have yet to be revealed. After all, we still have the likes of Chrissy, Jake,
Angela, and Fred to be revealed.
Per the Duffers, in Season 4, “a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried,
something that connects everything.” The season will feature a fourth new series regular,
Brett Gelman, who was promoted after recurring as Hopper’s conspiracy theorist friend Murray
Bauman in seasons 2–3.
And that is all that we have for today. What do you think about all of these new actors
and characters? We return on Monday and we will talk more in depth about today’s news.
