Stranger Things quietly recasts a major character

New faces move into Hawkins

The Stranger Things cast feels like family to us at this stage.

Even if there are certain individuals you dislike, we’ve connected with them over years of following their seemingly doomed adventures.

Yet, the bell tolls for us all eventually.

Advert

In a decision that some Stranger Things fans might not agree with, a major character has been recast.

How incredible does Stranger Things: The First Shadow look?

Before you unduly panic, the recasting affects the stage show and not the Netflix series.

Nonetheless, the fact that such a pivotal role is changing hands may still unsettle some of you, especially when you learn which character is having an actor makeover.

Actor T.R. Knight, best known for Grey’s Anatomy, will be playing Victor Creel in Stranger Things: The First Shadow.

While Henry is the one we all know due to his transformation into Vecna, Victor is a foreboding figure that looms large over Hawkins.

Rumoured to have murdered his family, his is a legend that touches the lives of everyone, even if they’re not aware of it.

In November, GAMINGbible’s Kate Harrold attended the West End production to see if it could give her the heebie jeebies.

Not only did it do just that, but it also teases some Stranger Things 5 plot points, if you know where to look.

The casting already felt perfect. However, with the show moving to Broadway, fresh blood is necessary.

Knight isn’t the only new cast member for the show – the role of Henry Creel, Dr. Brenner, and James Hopper Jr. has also been recast.

Even though this recasting is confirmed, we have every faith that The First Shadow will continue to successfully expand on the curious lore of the series.

Advert

The Broadway production will open in 2025, which is the year the final season of its TV counterpart will come to an end.

Next year will be an epically twisted one. We can’t wait, truth be told.
