When a great series adds new members to its ensemble, you never know what will happen, but in the case of the Stranger Things cast, it has been a genuine delight so far. Such as when Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery joined the crew in Season 2 or when Maya Hawke joined the gang the following season. The Netflix original sci-fi adventure appears to be bringing in a LOT of new characters for its fourth season, including one played by the famous star of one of the most '80s-tastic horror films. Let's take a look at where you might recognize the rest of the new Stranger Things Season 4 cast members, starting with one actor who is no stranger to the show.
