Joyce (Winona Ryder) recast in Stranger Things 2 as much fluffier actress

David Harbour (aka Chief Jim Hopper) posted a Stranger Things Season 2 spoiler to Instagram this week.

The Netflix show’s taken a creative canine-style turn and recast frantic mom Joyce (Winona Ryder) as a fluffy Pomeranian instead.

As much as we love Stranger Things and it’s creepy vibes, we wouldn’t be upset if the show did decide to sub some human actors for so-fluffy-I-wanna-die puppy ones. I mean, that way the post-show nightmares might be less terrifying. (Hint-hint Millie Bobby Brown and Gaten Matarazzo?)

The not-Joyce Pomeranian has been showing up across Finn Wolfhard (aka Mike Wheeler) and Joe Keery‘s (aka Steve Harrington) Instagram feeds. We’re wondering if the pup’s going to have a permanent spot on Season 2 as the new demogorgon? (Seriously, those nightmares).
