io9 participated in a roundtable interview with cast members Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, Maya Hawke, and Gaten Matarazzo. The strength of the show's characters is something that Keery sees as an important reason why the show has been able to connect with so many people. The horror may be the filter that the whole thing is going through.
The brothers write about their characters in a way that makes Robin and Nancy stand out. How is this person with this person formed? This person will explore the dynamics. I don't know if it was inevitable, but I think Robin and Nancy are different characters. When those two are together, what is that like? It was a lot of fun.
Robin was a new character in season three and became an instant fan favorite, but we will get to know her even more in season four. She said that she had to make different choices and go further in certain directions. The characters are so clearly drawn that it makes it so fun to play, and we all have little moments together.
Steve became closer to the younger characters, but he also had an important friendship with Robin. Don't ask Keery to pick Steve's favorite. He and Robin are the best advocates for looking for love in the cold world. I think there are elements of that as well. It sounds like we can look for a new contender for Steve's best friend to rise this season.
It's a pretty common situation where a group of friends drift apart. That is always rough. You try to keep in touch. It is hard at the time. The separation is upsetting. It will be sad for the group and it will be sad for people to see. Eddie runs the Hellfire Club andDustin is close to him. I don't know if there is a tug of war there.
The first two episodes of the season will be released on May 27 and July 1.
