Stranger Things is no stranger when it comes to bringing on new cast members every season. Season 2 introduced Billy and Max, Dr. Owens, Murray Bauman, and Erica Sinclair. Season 3 introduced Robin, Heather, Mayor Kline, Bruce, Tom, and Mrs. Driscoll. And, if you think this cast is already large enough, and that they couldn’t possibly be bringing any new faces to the screen for the fourth season, well I hate to break it to you…
Before filming began this season, Casting TaylorMade, the casting agency that handles Stranger Things’ casting for background and extras, put out a series of casting calls for a number of new characters in Stranger Things. Whether these roles will be an integral part of season 4’s storyline or not, is still unknown.
These characters are all just speculation at this point, so take this with a grain of salt.
Angela and Jake:
The power couple of the school, “Angela” and “Jake” seemed destined to cause problems for our friends at Hawkins High. Angela is the stereotypical queen bee, out to bully and demean anyone not on her level. That likely includes her boyfriend, Jake, who is certainly not going to stand on equal intellectual ground with too many people, but isn’t afraid to show those same people how tough he is.
Argyle:
“Argyle” is the Spicoli-esque character described in the TV Line report. Described as having a “deeply chill” and “philosophical” vibe, “Argyle” is expected to play a fairly major role in the events of Season 4.
Vickie:
The stereotypical alt-girl whose unapproachable appearance belies her light-heartedness. It seems like “Vickie” might prove as an ally to the gang as the season develops.
Chrissy:
At first glance, “Chrissy” is your stereotypical super popular cheerleader type; upon closer inspection, we’ll learn that she’s holding onto a deep-rooted darkness as she suffers under her mothers emotional abuse.
Jason:
The guy who we thought Steve was going to be before we all fell in love with him, “Jason” is the rich, preppy jock whose mouth never quite shuts.
Eddie:
Another potential ally to our heroes, “Eddie” is an 80’s metalhead who is into Metallica, but also loves D&D.
Fred:
“Fred” checks all the boxes of the stereotypical 80’s nerd. The bespectacled “Fred”, despite being nerdy, is clever and is perusing his passion: journalism. Given all the strange events that have taken place in Hawkins and the proximity of the series leads to all of them, we’ll see if “Fred” does more harm than good once he starts digging around.
Mrs. Kelley:
What high school would be complete without the guidance counselor? “Mrs. Kelley” is new to Hawkins High, meaning she might not be aware of all the crazy events. She is, however, a kind and caring soul who wears her heart on her sleeve and is out for the best interest of her students.

Keep in mind that the character names and identities are likely to change. This group sounds a lot like another group from a popular 1980’s film: The Breakfast Club. These are all very different people, but it sounds like even though they may not associate with each other on a regular basis, they may have to come together in some awkward way in order to help our heroes fight off whatever evils may be lurking this season.
