With the town under military quarantine, multiple rifts opening up and Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) still looming large. the party members are going to need all the help they can get in their imminent quest.
Holly Wheeler, the younger sister of Mike and Nancy Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard and Natalia Dyer), will be joining the fray – with a new actor being welcomed to Netflix's flagship sci-fi series in the role.
Here's everything we know about Holly's recasting and what part she’ll play in the fifth instalment.
Why was Holly Wheeler recast in Stranger Things season 5?
Originally played by twins Anniston and Tinsley Price since 2016, the youngest of the Wheeler children has quite literally grown up over the course of the show’s four seasons.
While this shift helps age up the main characters to match the actor’s real-life ages – as the delays in production has resulted in the cast visibly maturing between seasons – the same can’t be said for the twins.
This isn’t the first time a recurring family member’s screen time has been upgraded. Priah Ferguson’s brilliantly sharp and sassy Erica Sinclair, sister of Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), played a major role in seasons 3 and 4, following her debut back in season 2.
Actress Fisher opened up about's to come, telling RadioTimes.com of her favourite moment: "I have this amazing sequence with Cara [Buono] who plays my mum where it's like quite a lot of action.
"In the trailer we saw a little sneak peek of her and I hiding underwater and there's a whole lot to follow, which was a dream to film."
Who is playing Holly Wheeler in Stranger Things season 5?
Her experience in the fifth film in the classic horror franchise will no doubt have played a key role in the recasting – especially with the numerous Evil Dead references woven throughout Stranger Things's four seasons.
“We wanted to recapture some of the feeling of season one, and some of that you can't recapture unless you have kids, because our kids are not kids any more.” Duffer explained.
Let’s just hope the final season doesn’t follow the same pattern as previous ones – where supporting characters who suddenly get an expanded focus tend to meet a tragic fate. (Here’s looking at you, Bob, Billy, and Eddie.)
