According to TV Line , Matt and Ross Duffer are introducing Max, a "tough and confident" 12-14 year old skateboarding female, whose "appearance, behavior and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era."Max's older brother Billy will also be introduced, with the character described as driving a Camaro and being "very muscular and hyper-confident." The third character is Roman, a "thirtysomething gender neutral role" who "suffered a great loss at an early age and has been seeking revenge ever since." Matt Duffer previously said there would be "four newcomers " in the show's second season. A less certain factor is whether Eleven will be making a return, with Ross Duffer saying "we leave that up in the air." The second season takes place about a year after the first season ends. Stranger Things got renewed for a second season on Netflix just yesterday, although there has been discussion of the show's return for a few weeks
