Maya Hawke, Stranger Things' Robin Buckley, Also Stars in These Other Series and Movies on Netflix - Netflix Tudum
Maya Hawke has worn a lot of hats as Robin Buckley, Stranger Things’ resident DJ, movie rental connoisseur, and Scoops Ahoy employee extraordinaire. But while the eldest child of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman had her big break as the charmingly sarcastic Robin in Matt and Ross Duffer’s nostalgia-packed sci-fi series, her first role was as another well-loved hero: Jo March in the BBC’s 2017 adaptation of Little Women (more on that below).
Just two years later, Hawke joined Stranger Things and appeared in two films, director Marc Meyers’s Human Capital and writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, cementing her status as a rising Hollywood star. Since then, she’s had parts in movies like Do Revenge (more below), Asteroid City, and The Kill Room. She’s dabbled in voice work, too, playing the supervillain Abyss in the Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur series and the perpetually stressed-out Anxiety in Inside Out 2. Hawke is also a recording artist and has released three studio albums: Blush, Moss, and Chaos Angel.

Stranger Things
Hawke’s Robin Buckley doesn’t burst onto the scene until Season 3 of the Duffer Brothers’ nostalgic, ’80s-set series, but her platonic (with a capital P) bromance with Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) is the stuff of legend. This sci-fi throwback follows a group of kids — Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) — who are searching in the woods for their missing friend, Will (Noah Schnapp), when they stumble across a girl, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), with psychokinetic abilities. The group’s friendship powers them through five seasons of monster fights and potentially world-ending threats as they unravel the mystery at the heart of their small town, Hawkins, Indiana. Winona Ryder (Bram Stoker’s Dracula), David Harbour (We Have a Ghost), Natalia Dyer (All Fun and Games), Charlie Heaton (Soulmates), and Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) also star.
Do Revenge
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (Someone Great) co-wrote and directed this black comedy about a former queen bee, Drea (Camila Mendes), who strikes a deal with the seemingly unassuming new girl, Eleanor (Hawke), to enact revenge on each other’s behalf. They strike up an unlikely friendship along the way that changes both of their outlooks on life — and the people that wronged them. Austin Abrams (Penelope), Rish Shah (Obsession), Talia Ryder (Honey Don’t!), Sophie Turner (The Staircase), and Sarah Michelle Gellar (I Know What You Did Last Summer) co-star.
Little Women
Hawke, Willa Fitzgerald (A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE), Kathryn Newton (The Society), and Annes Elwy (The Feast) star as sisters Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, respectively, in this drama series based on Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel. Their childhoods during the American Civil War era lead them down different paths, but even as they come of age and find their way in the world, they know that they can always count on each other — even when loss and their personal differences seem determined to drive them apart. The cast also includes Emily Watson (Steve) as Marmee March, Angela Lansbury (Murder, She Wrote) as Aunt March, Michael Gambon (the Harry Potter series) as Mr. Laurence, and Jonah Hauer-King (The Threesome) as Laurie.
Maestro
This biographical romantic drama was directed by Bradley Cooper (Is This Thing On?) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Josh Singer (The Post). It stars Cooper and Carey Mulligan (The Dig) as composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein and his wife, actor Felicia Montealegre Bernstein, whose complicated, lifelong relationship — the highs, the lows, and the music in between — is chronicled in this biopic. Hawke plays Jamie Bernstein, the eldest of the couple’s three children. The film, produced by Martin Scorsese (The Irishman) and Steven Spielberg (The Fabelmans), received nominations for seven Academy Awards — including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress — four Golden Globes, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Fear Street Part 1: 1994
The first installment in the Fear Street trilogy, co-written and directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon), takes place in 1994 in the small town of Shadyside. This supernatural slasher flick follows a teen (Kiana Madeira) and her friends after a series of gruesome deaths leads them to believe that their town is marked by a witch’s centuries-old curse. Hawke plays Heather, an employee at the local mall. Olivia Scott Welch (Panic), Benjamin Flores Jr. (Your Honor), Julia Rehwald (Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures), Fred Hechinger (Alex Strangelove), Ashley Zukerman (Apple Cider Vinegar), and Darrell Britt-Gibson (She Taught Love) also star in this movie based on R.L. Stine’s book series.
