The cast of Stranger Things, of which new episodes will appear on Friday, is packed with young actors who had their breakthrough in the Netflix hit. From Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) to Sadie Sink (Max), they all have busy schedules thanks to the series. What else can you see them in?
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven)

British Brown (18) made an impression from the very first episode as Eleven, the orphaned girl with telekinetic powers who can save the village of Hawkins from the dark monsters that loom there. In any case, the actress is not shy about work: between the different series of Stranger Things she was featured in Enola Holmes (which will be followed by a sequel this year) and Godzilla vs. Kong.
In the coming period, Brown can be seen in several films and she has the lead role in all projects. In the book adaptation The Electric State the actress can be seen alongside Chris Pratt and in the adventure film Damsel Brown takes on the role of a princess.
Maya Hawke (Robin)

With Uma Thurman as mother and Ethan Hawke as father, it is almost inevitable that you end up in the Hollywood world yourself. The 24-year-old Maya Hawke had for Stranger Things already won some roles, including in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In… Hollywood† Since the third season of the Netflix series, she has played Robin Buckley, Steven Harrington’s best friend.
Meanwhile, the bigger roles are up for grabs, such as in the Bradley Cooper directed Maestro, a film biography about the well-known musical composer Leonard Bernstein. But Hawke, who was educated at the Juilliard Conservatory, also puts a lot of time into her music career. Her debut album was released in 2020. And Hawke occasionally works as a model. She was featured in a campaign for Calvin Klein.

Canadian Finn Wolfhard (19) can be seen since the first season as Mike Wheeler, who later in the series gets a relationship with Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Wolfhard hammered for Stranger Things already on the way as an actor, but has been seeing the roles pour in since 2016 (when the series premiered). He played in the sequel to the horror film Ithe was part of the cast in Ghostbusters: Afterlife and provides one of the voices in the Pinokkio-film adaptation by Guillermo del Toro, which will be released at the end of this year.
Like Stranger Thingscolleague Hawke Wolfhard is also active in music. He was vocalist and guitarist in the band Calpurnia and now forms a new music formation with a friend called The Aubreys.

Sadie Sink (20) can be seen since the second season as the (now) fifteen-year-old Max Mayfield, who befriends the group of friends that is central in the series. In the fourth series, her character has a larger and important role. Critics are full of praise for her acting and Sink is therefore called ‘the big star of Stranger Things‘ named.
Her talent can now also be seen outside the science fiction series. Sink, the one for Stranger Things already played some smaller roles in, among other things, the series American Oddysey in The Americans, starred in Taylor Swifts music video All Too Well† She also has the lead role in the new movie of Black Swandirector Darren Aronofsky. Sink is also one of the new faces of the fashion brand Givenchy.
Joe Keery (Steve)

Steve Harrington, the character that 30-year-old Joe Keery has played since 2016, provides in Stranger Things for the comic relief and with that the actor has become a fan favorite. And his talent is also used elsewhere. He starred in the action comedy alongside Ryan Reynolds Free Guy and he will soon start shooting the action movie Cold Storagein which he can be seen with Liam Neeson.
The cast of Stranger Things is quite musical, because Keery is also active in music. He was part of the rock band Post Animal until 2019, in which he played drums and guitar. He has since started a solo career under the name Djo. His second album will be released in September Decide.
