More Stranger Things season 2 character details revealed - including who Joyce's new man is

If 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things season 2 is anything like the first season, it’ll surely surprꦑise and horrify us in equal measure. Eleven’s disappearance, Will Byers returning from the Upside Down, and the will they/won’t they between Nancy and Jonathan are all at the front of our minds, but the new season will also see more than a few new characters added to the mix. ꧙And the Duffer brothers have revealed some sweet, sweet details about at least two of them.
Speaking to , the showrunners confirmed that Sean Astin (Sam from Lord of the Rings!) will be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:playing Joyce’s boyfriend, but now he has a name and a job. Say ꦛhello to Bob Newby, Radio Shack employee and Winona Ryder new beau.
"Bob is new to our 🦩weird Hawkins group, but he’s immediately memorable and I think people are going to be very surprised by where that takes them this year," says Executive Producer Shꦑawn Levy.
Joining Sean Astin will be fellow Stranger Things neܫwcomer Paul Reiser. Probably best known as the star of '90s comedy Mad About You, he also had turns in Beverly Hi💮lls Cop and Aliens.
The Duffer Brothers are obviously huge fans as it turns out his character's name in the script was... Paul Reiser. However, his real character name is Dr. Owens, and he's a higher-up at the Department of Energy sent in to contain the weird goings-on in Hawkins. Expect conspiracy theories a-plenty and a weird experiment or two. Ross Duffer is certa༺inly excited about the actor involvement: "I’ve been dreaming of Paul Reiser for a while and we got him in there!"
These new characters certainly won’t overshadow our old favourites though, even ones who are no longer with us like poor old Barb (even if Will Arnett d♒oesn’t quite u🦂nderstand the fuss). "Barb will not be forgotten in season 2," Ross Duffer explains. "I will say that much. There will be a lot of talk abou🅺t Barb. She is still dead, though." Sad times.
Stranger Th♔ings seas🧜on 2 is set to air on Netflix later this year.
