“Stranger Things” was renewed for a third season by Netflix in December and since then producers have been scouting locations for pre-production. Expect some casting calls to pop up in the coming weeks as the hit show’s third season begins shooting.
The fantasy thriller will begin filming around the city in April and conclude in September, according to news reports. Some new faces are also joining the fold.
Maya Thurman-Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, will make her debut in season 3. Also, Atlanta actress Priah Ferguson will play a bigger role as Erica, Lucas’ little sister.
Maya’s character will be “equal parts sharp and playful. Bored with her mundane day job, she just wants a little excitement in her life,” according to Deadline.
The show is about the search for a missing boy, but also takes some terrifying, supernatural and other-worldly turns.
“Stranger Things” is a nostalgic look at a small town called Hawkins, Indiana. The time is 1983. As townspeople search for a missing boy, they are drawn “into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl,” the series promotional summary says.
