When production officially began in January 2024, a set photo confirmed the return of Amybeth McNulty as Vickie. In July 2024, new cast members Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, and Alex Breaux were added to the lineup. Then, in mid-October 2024, a casting call by Knight Edge Media revealed they were seeking an actress to portray Jim Hopper’s late daughter, Sara, previously played by Elle Graham in the first season.
