Amybeth McNulty brought a unique charm when she breathed the e back into Anne and restored the rhythm to the clarinet as strangely as she could. Now, her return is being looked at like an incessant need for a new family member as Stranger Things gets ready to bid farewell. Will McNulty bring back Vickie in what is being touted as the strangest season yet? The audience can hold their breath bated as they eagerly speculate whether this beloved character will shine again in Stranger Things season five, or remain Robin Buckley's most beloved memory from the 80s. 

The key to curbing Vecna's horrors be lost or not, Vickie's return to sweep Robin of his feet is probably more important for the season than any evil's defeat. 

Amybeth McNulty has officially been confirmed to be returning as Vickie, and has been promoted to a series regular in Stranger Things season five. After a guest appearance in season four, her expanded role suggests the creators value Vickie’s addition to the ensemble. This transition to the main cast strengthens anticipation and confirms McNulty’s significant involvement in the season set to premiere in late 2025, highlighting Vickie’s importance in the evolving storyline.

Vickie burst onto Stranger Things' scene in season four as the quick-witted band geek stealing Robin Buckley’s heart, and maybe a bit of the spotlight, too. McNulty’s portrayal lit up the screen with sharp humor and teen rapport that sliced through the show’s eerie vibes like a flashlight in the dark. The audience adored Vickie’s spirited charm and the fresh energy she brought, though her future screen time remains wrapped in mystery, leaving us eagerly guessing what Hawkins has in store for her next. 

Is Anne with an E season 4 happening?

 From chasing rabbits in Avonlea, to facing monsters in Hawkins, Amybeth McNulty, rising as she has been, has not stopped ever since.

Amybeth McNulty’s rise from an 1800-strong audition gauntlet to the fiery heart of Anne with an E is nothing short of magical. She caught lightning in a bottle with her quirky, tree-talking audition and transformed Anne Shirley into a character bursting with charm and cheek. Garnering awards like the Canadian Screen Award and ACTRA, McNulty’s talent did not stop at Anne. She wove her magic through films like Morgan and indie gems like She Came Back, proving she is not just a one-role wonder but a captivating force in the making.

As Stranger Things season five prepares to deliver its final and strangest chapter, Amybeth McNulty’s return as Vickie adds an exciting element to the show’s dynamic ensemble despite her possible reservations towards originals from Netflix. Her expanded role promises to enrich the series’ beloved mixture of suspense, heart, and humor.
