Who plays 001 in Stranger Things 4? Meet actor Jamie Campbell Bower
The Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts actor plays a new role in the Netflix series.
Stranger Things fans, prepare yourselves for more creepy goings-on: the fourth and final season is almost upon us.
Season 4 will pick up six months after the Battle of Starcourt – which stripped Eleven of her powers – as the gang are forced to face their most terrifying threat yet.
Split into two parts and comprising of nine super-sized episodes, season 4 looks set to be bigger than ever (read our review of Stranger Things season 4 part 1 here).
What’s more, the cast has expanded, with plenty of new additions set to shake things up in the next chapter.
Jamie Campbell Bower is one of three new main cast additions for season 4, alongside Eduardo Franco and Joseph Quinn, who are set to play Argyle and Eddie Munson respectively.

Who is 001 in Stranger Things?
Jamie plays Peter Ballard, an orderly who works at a psychiatric hospital - and that's more or less the only information we've been given about him so far.
“A caring man who works as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital. Tired of the brutality he witnesses day after day, will Peter finally take a stand?” the character's official Netflix description reads.
With the location of the hospital unknown, it's not yet clear which other characters Peter may come into contact with in season 4.
Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo – who plays Dustin Henderson on the nostalgic sci-fi show – previously warned that the season 4 would be darker than previous runs.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press, he said: "I think we were kind of – at least I was – aware that [creators Matt and Ross Duffer] wanted to really take it up a notch with everything, whether it was in their comedy in all things Stranger Things, but particularly in the horror realm."
