Also joining Brown is Ke Huy Quan in an undisclosed role, and this is theStranger Thingsstrategy thatThe Electric Stateis borrowing. Each season ofStranger Thingshas introduced new characters, but sadly, most of them didn’t make it past their first season.The biggest new addition in season 2 was Bob Newby (Sean Astin), Joyce’s (Winona Ryder) boyfriend, who joined the group’s investigation of the Upside Down, what was happening to Will, and the fight against the demodogs.

Unfortunately, Bob Newby was killed by the demodogs after he helped Hopper, Joyce, and Will escape from Hawkins Lab, but he became one of the most beloved and unforgettable one-season characters ofStranger Things.Astin famously starred in Richard Donner’s 1985 adventure comedyThe Gooniesas Mikey, the leader of the title group of friends.One of Mikey’s closest friends was Data, an amateur gadgeteer and James Bond fan played by Ke Huy Quan.

Stranger Thingshas heavy and obvious references to the culture of the 1980s, andThe Gooniesis one of its clearest inspirations. Casting Astin in season 2 was fitting and a heartwarming way to pay homage toThe Goonies’ influence, and it was Brown’s first time working with aGooniesactor. This is now continuing inThe Electric Statewith Quan, and it’s to be seen what the dynamic between his and Brown’s characters will be like.
