Two additions to the Stranger Things cast include Cary Elwes and Jake Busey.

As Consequence Of Sound explains, Elwes will be playing the Hawkins mayor, a “handsome, slick and sleazy” '80s politician.

Busey will be playing a local journalist with “questionable morals.”

As previously reported, the cast will be adding three new characters along with an “alternative girl” character who we're stoked to meet.

They recently shared that Season 3 will take place during the summer of 1985, a year after Season 2. Plus, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard), as well as Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Max (Sadie Sink), will begin the season as couples.

The best news, though? Producer and director Shawn Levy tells fans that Steve (Joe Keery) will have a bigger role in Season 3—and dad Steve is BACK.

“We'll definitely get to see some more of Steve Harrington in Season Three, and I'll just say we won't be abandoning the Dad Steve magic. I don't want to say much more, but I literally feel that we were walking along and we stumbled onto a gold mine with Dad Steve,” Levy said.

The third season is set to debut sometime in 2019.
