Joe Keery is an American actor and musician who is most well known for his role in the science fiction series Stranger Things. Although he had worked in television and film before the spooky TV show, this was undoubtedly his breakout role and he experienced a rapid rise to fame with his popularity unsurprisingly skyrocketing! Since his debut as Steve Harrington on the show in 2016, Joe has starred in all four seasons, despite only intending to stick around for the first season.
Volume 1 of the highly anticipated new series came out on May 27th and fans have been loving it, with The Guardian stating it is ‘Bigger, better and more gruesome than ever’. Volume 2 is set to come out on 1 July.

The main source of Kerry's wealth is undoubtedly the Netflix show which 64 million households watched season 3 of in the first four weeks after its release.
Alongside his acting career, Kerry also dips his finger into the music scene as he plays for the Chicago-based garage and psych-rock band, ‘Post Animal.’ Kerry, however, has attempted to keep his musical and acting pursuits separate and even stopped touring with the band in 2019 as he feared that association with the hit Netflix show would eventually hurt the brand.
Kerry’s popularity in the new season can be seen all over social media, with one user tweeting “If Steve Harrington goes, I go as well”.
