Robert Englund Joins the Cast of STRANGER THINGS Season 4

As Freddy Krueger, the Man of Our Nightmares, he brought one of the most iconic characters of the 1980s to life, so it's fitting that Robert Englund is joining the cast of the fourth season of Netflix's ’80s-set Stranger Things.

According to multiple sources, including Variety, Englund will portray the recurring character "Victor Creel, a disturbed and intimidating man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s."

Variety also reports that Jamie Campbell Bower, Eduardo Franco, and Joseph Quinn have joined the cast as series regulars for the fourth season, with Tom Wlaschiha, Sherman Augustus, Mason Dye, and Nikola Djuricko on board to play recurring characters.

A premiere date for Stranger Things Season 4 has not been announced, but production recently resumed after being postponed due to COVID-19.

We'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more details are revealed.
