Netflix has already cast two of its new characters for the tentatively titled “Stranger Things 2” (full details).

Sadie Sink (pictured below in “The Americans”) will play Max, a tomboy with a complicated history and a suspicious streak, Variety reports, adding that Aussie actor Dacre Montgomery, who is donning the red suit in Lionsgate’s upcoming Power Rangers film, will play Billy, Max’s older step-brother. Billy is described as a charismatic Camaro-driving drinker, a classic girlfriend-stealing bad boy. That character description could theoretically mean trouble for Season 1 couple Nancy and Steve.

Two Season 1 favorites are also getting a promotion. Joe Kerry, who plays Jean-Ralphio lookalike Steve, and Noah Schnapp, who plays young Will Byers, will be series regulars for the second season, indicating they might be around a little more. Last season saw Will suffering from the aftereffects of his extended stay in the Upside Down, a spooky nightmare alternate dimension full of monsters, explains the site.

The next season will bow on the streaming service in 2017, with creators Matt and Ross Duffer promising more information on the Upside Down, a connection between Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) and the absent Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and one more episode than Season 1.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.

If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
