Everything You Need to Know About Netflix's Chilling New Show, Stranger Things

One of the more interesting aspects of the show is that although the cast is beefed up with more well-known actors like Winona Ryder and David Harbour, most of the characters are teenagers or young children. Harbour, who's had roles in The Newsroom and State of Affairs, will appear as the town's gruff police chief, while Ryder brings a touch of nostalgia to her role as Will's stressed-out, pushed-to-her-limits mother. Relative newcomers Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Caleb McLaughlin, and Gaten Matarazzo round out the younger cast.
