The third season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” just began filming last month, and various photos from the set have already leaked onto the net. You can find them if you go looking for them, but what we wanted to share with you is a photo sent out by star David Harbour himself this week, showing off that Hopper has a new look in Season 3.
Rather than the full beard we’ve known him to have, it’s looking like Chief Hopper is going to be rocking a big, bushy, badass mustache in Season 3, set in the Summer of 1985!
Check out Hopper’s new look below.
Returning for Season 3 are Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Chief Jim Hopper, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven,Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Dacre Montgomery as Billy, and Sadie Sink as Max, among others.
Most recently, Cary Elwes, known for both Princess Bride and SAW, was cast to play a character named Mayor Kline, while Starship Troopers, The Frighteners, and The Predator‘s Jake Busey will play a character named Bruce.
Previously cast was Maya Thurman-Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, who will play an “alternative girl” bored with her mundane day job. She seeks excitement in her life and gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a dark secret in Hawkins, Indiana.
Season 2 actress Priah Ferguson, who played Lucas’ scene-stealing sister Erica, has been upped to a series regular. She’ll return with an army of her own friends. No longer content with sitting on the sidelines, Erica finds herself on a wild mission to save Hawkins from a dangerous new threat.
The series is created by The Duffer Brothers, who also serve as executive producers and directors along with Shawn Levy (who also directs), Dan Cohen and Iain Patterson. “Stranger Things” is a Netflix production.
