To which the creators replied that they have been considerate about adding new
characters. For instance, they cast Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery in season 2
as Max and Billy. And then bubbly Robin in season 3 is portrayed by the American
actress Maya Hawke. Although they had to meditate deeply on things before
introducing new people. Because the show already had such an exceptional set of
actors like Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour.

However, they wanted a unique story for season 4 something like “satanic panic”
which fans would find convincing.

“We really wanted that character who’s a metalhead, he’s into Dungeons &
Dragons, he’s ultimately a true nerd at heart,” remarked Duffer Brothers on the

have failed if the character didn’t fit. Whereas the audition clip of Joseph
Quinn was answer to all of their concerns. Duffer Brothers said: “And Joe, I
don’t know how he did it. He was the only one. There was literally no other
option. Joe just pulled it off”.
