After the third series of Stranger Things was left on a cliff-hanger, fans of the show have been desperately trying to find out more information about series four. But the cast, directors and bosses at Netflix have remained pretty tight-lipped on what's going to happen.

However, new information has reportedly been leaked about the next phase of the story arc - and that involves four new characters that are set to stir the pot.

According to TV line, the show are currently casting four male characters, with three of those being teenagers and one an adult. They're said to be characters with "recurring roles."

The publication reports one of the teens with be “an entitled jock” and “a metalhead", potentially clashing with the younger members of the cast.

The description for the adult man says he “possesses characteristics that suggest he will figure prominently in a certain story line set far, far away from Hawkins.”

The latest series four news comes after Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, opened up about the next series of the hit Netflix show, admitting she's "freaked out" that she could potentially be the villain of the next series.

As series three ended, viewers saw the 15-year-old's character Eleven getting part of the Mind Flayer's flesh stuck on her leg, leading fans to conjure up many theories and predictions, with one being that Eleven gets infected from the flesh, turning her into a baddie.

Speaking to Elle about fan predictions, Millie said, "I kind of like it! I'm into it. I wasn't playing it like that. We don't know what happens in season four. I definitely don't. In scenes after the Mind Flayer grabbed me, I wasn't playing it as I was infected.

"I was definitely playing it as normal as possible. And maybe that's the reason they didn't tell me. To make it as real as possible. I don't know."

The Godzilla star went on to say, "Those theories freak me out a bit. Because I'm like, 'Oh god, that could genuinely be true."' And what if she is the villain?

"That would be so cool. Wouldn't that be cool? I'd love to be the villain, but then I also wouldn't because Eleven is perfect. It would suck."
