Comedian Brett Gelman is coming to Hawkins for Season 2 of “Stranger Things,” Variety has confirmed. Gelman will play Murray Bauman, a disgraced journalist-turned-conspiracy theorist who is investigating a cold case in the small Indiana town.

Gelman’s had quite a week. He recently announced he was severing ties with Adult Swim over their support of a show tied to the alt-right and white nationalists, and what he dubbed “the misogyny of their policies.” In addition to appearing in other Adult Swim series, Gelman had a series of specials on the network, the last of which, “Brett Gelman’s Dinner in America,” aired in July.
