[Video] Original “Stranger Things” Audition Tapes Will Melt Your Heart
After you’re done watching the second season of “Stranger Things,” we recommend you check out “Beyond Stranger Things,“ Netflix’s new post-show that features the cast and creators sitting around a table and discussing the new season. Just don’t watch a single episode until you’re done with Season 2, as it’s loaded with spoilers!
Straight out of “Beyond Stranger Things” comes this compilation of cast auditions, giving us an early look at what would soon become the most lovable group of kids in TV history.
Before they took to the screen and won over our hearts, Gaten Matarazzo, Millie Bobby Brown and the gang first had to audition. And those tapes are pure magic.
Enjoy.
Production on season two of “Alien: Earth” has begun in London, and Deadline reports that Tracey Ullman (“Tracey Ullman’s Show“), Sam Spruell (“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms“), and Jerome Flynn (“Game of Thrones“) have joined the cast.
They join previously announced series newcomer Peter Dinklage.
No character details have been divulged so far.
“Alien: Earth” Season 2 is shooting at the historic Pinewood Studios — home of the original Alien as well as Aliens, Alien 3, and Prometheus. The show’s new production designer, Neil Lamont, is the son of Alien production designer Peter Lamont.
Set in the year 2120, five corporations wield the power of nations, and proprietary advancements in technology provide the promise of a new tomorrow. When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.
The second season “certainly expands on the promise of the first,” according to series creator Noah Hawley (“Fargo,” “Legion”). “It’s a bigger show, more world-building, and I can’t think of a better place for taking on that bigger challenge.”
Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adrian Edmondson, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Lily Newmark, Erana James, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Kit Young, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver star.
Also on the way from Noah Hawley? A remake of Argentine horror film Terrified for Warner Bros.
Stay tuned for more on “Alien: Earth” season two now that production has begun.
