“Stranger Things” lost a couple cast members in its first season, but it's going to replenish its ranks for season two. The second season was officially announced with creators The Duffer Brothers saying they were influenced by the works of James Cameron and sequels like “Aliens”, “Terminator 2”, and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”.

So where do the new characters fit into the reference-fest that is “Stranger Things”? According to THR, the show is looking to add three new characters. The first two, Max and Roman, will be series regulars with the third, Billy, listed as a potential series regular.

Max is a tough and confident 13-year-old female whose appearance, behavior and pursuits are more typical of boys than of girls in the era. She has a complicated history and has a difficult relationship with her step-brother Billy that's made her protective of her past and generally suspicious of those around her. She's also good on a skateboard, which she uses to get around pretty much everywhere.

Stranger Things” Season 2 premieres in 2017.
