Netflix Announces Cast For Supernatural Series ‘Stranger Things’

Netflix continues to up its ambitions in the original programming world. The streaming video platform has announced the title and cast for Stranger Things, a supernatural series set to premiere in 2016.

Stranger Things, which comes from creators Matt and Ross Duffer, was first announced in April, but not under same title; instead, it was known as Montauk. Winona Ryder joined the project in June, when it was changed to “untitled supernatural series.” Now, it has received its new name, and the rest of its cast has been revealed. Young actor

Finn Wolfhard will co-star as the friend of a missing boy, and Millie Brown will portray a mysterious girl with supernatural abilities. The show’s plot description, which teases “top secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one very strange little girl,” has a definite Twin Peaks vibe to it, though a press release bills the show as “a love letter to the ‘80s classics that captivated a generation.”

The first season of Stranger Things will contain eight hour-long episodes. No specific release date for the series has been announced as of yet.
