The show will feature Oscar Lloyd bringing Jim Hopper to life, Louis McCartney like Henry Creel, Christopher Buckley bringing Bob Newby to life and Isabella Pappas playing Joyce Maldonado.
Meanwhile, there is still not much information about the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things”. With no premiere date yet, what is known so far is that, as revealed by the series’ producer and director, Shawn Levythe new episodes will be “a great cinematic narrative”.
“It’s a great cinematic narrative that happens to be called a TV series. Stranger Things 5 is as big as any of the biggest movies we see,” Levy said in an interview with Total Film (via Omelete).
