To mark the occasion, the streamer treated viewers to a sneak peek and confirmed the voices behind the animated versions of the beloved characters.

Leading the cast, Brooklyn Davey Norstedt will do the voice for Eleven, joined by Jolie Hoang-Rappaport as Max, Luca Diaz as Mike, Ej (Elisha) Williams as Lucas, Braxton Quinney as Dustin, Ben Plessala as Will, and Brett Gipson as Hopper. Rounding out the ensemble are Odessa A’zion, Janeane Garofalo, and Lou Diamond Phillips in undisclosed roles.
