THR reports that three new characters will be coming to the series, with Max, Roman and Billy all being brought to the cast.
Casting breakdowns for the additions read: "Max is a tough and confident 13-year-old female whose appearance, behaviour and pursuits are more typical of boys than of girls in the era. She has a complicated history and has a difficult relationship with her step-brother Billy that's made her protective of her past and generally suspicious of those around her. She's also good on a skateboard, which she uses to get around pretty much everywhere.
"Max's step-brother Billy is a super muscular, overconfident 17-year-old. He's so captivating and edgy that there are rumours flying around that he killed someone at a past school he attended. Billy steals peoples' girlfriends, is a drinking game pro and drives a black Camaro. But his violent and unpredictable nature shows itself to those closest to him, especially to ones who are younger than he is.
"Roman, meanwhile, is described as a male or female of any ethnicity between the ages of 30 and 38. After growing up homeless with a drug-addicted mother, he or she suffered a great loss at an early age and has been seeking revenge ever since. Roman is ultimately an outsider who doesn't understand how to connect with people."
Just how these three characters will slot in is still to be determined, but what we do know is that when the show returns it'll be almost a year on from where we left off, picking things up in the fall of 1984.
The official logline reads: "When terrifying supernatural forces once begin to affect Hawkins, they realise Will's disappearance was only the beginning. And so the adventure continues…"
Stranger Things returns for nine all-new episodes on Netflix in 2017.
