The kids of Stranger Things were a lot different when we were first introduced to them. The Netflix hit series premiered back in 2016. From Lucas to Eleven, all of the main characters were just adolescents and preteens when the show started. Now, they are all growing up, as actors and as the characters that they play on the show. The six of them have all gone through major changes and developments, on and off the screen. And with the recent release of Stranger Things 4, it’s the perfect time to look back at the case and how they’ve grown. Check out The Stranger Things cast, then and now.
Eleven — Millie Bobby Brown
Eleven is a lot different from her original character, who was basically being held captive in a secret facility for gifted, psychic kids. She has become more acclimated to typical teenage life, but still deals with adjusting from her previously odd upbringing.
Lucas Sinclair — Calib McLaughlin
Lucas has gone from a goofy preteen to a full-blown young adult. He has definitely grown into his own, now playing on the basketball team for Hawkins.
Mike Wheeler — Finn Wolfhard
Mike has definitely grown up in the last few seasons. But one thing that has never faltered is his loyalty, with him being one of the most highly affected when he lost his best friend Will. He is also now dating Eleven.
Dustin Henderson — Gaten Matarazzo
Dustin is himself though and though, and his nerdy, redeeming quirkiness is only becoming more pronounced and admirable as he gets older. He is still the lovable, talkative and super knowledgeable one in the bunch.
