Stranger Things is absolutely everywhere, and so are its young stars. Season 3 was just released on Netflix, and everyone is either already done binge-ing it or frantically trying to finish binge-ing it — don’t worry, there’s going to be no spoilers here.
One member of the cast has us (and everyone else) freaking out with how much she looks like her famous parents.

This is Maya Hawke.
Maya is an actress and model, most well known for her role as Jo March in the BBC’s adaptation of Little Women.
Of course, you probably recognize her as Robin.
On this season of Stranger Things , Maya plays Robin, the coolest chick serving ice cream with Steve Harrington we’ve ever seen.
But does she look familiar to anyone else?
If she does, it might be because this is her mom.
That’s right — Maya’s mom is none other than Hollywood legend Uma Thurman. And how could we be surprised?! They look exactly alike!
I mean, look at this.
They could be twins. Oh, by the way, that’s a photo of Uma Thurman with Maya’s dad, Ethan Hawke.
And they look alike too.
I’m personally not always flattered when someone tells me I look like my dad, but I think Maya kind of won the genetic lottery.
And I’m not the only person who thinks so.
They are adorable.
While this tweet places Maya just slightly behind Gattaca in terms of best things to come from Uma and Ethan’s relationship, I’d be so bold as to go ahead and say I like Maya better than Gattaca. And I really like Gattaca.
People have been comparing shots of Maya to her parents and the similarities are crazy.
Look at this shot of Uma from Kill Bill and Maya from Stranger Things and tell me you’re not suddenly wondering if Quentin Tarantino has any plans for a Kill Bill prequel.
She’s the perfect mashup of her parents.
I mean, obviously, that’s how genetics work, but it’s still really cool to see.
She’s definitely got her mom’s smile.
I don’t know why it’s so satisfying when celebrity’s kids look so much like them, but I could stare at these pictures all day.
I know ‘Stranger Things’ is set in the 80s, but it feels like the 90s are alive again.
It’s wild to see the celebrities we loved when we were growing up having grown up kids who look exactly like them!
Her parents couldn’t be prouder.
Ethan shared this Instagram post with the caption, “Some of you may know her music, some may not. But Ladies & Gentleman, get to know MAYA HAWKE. She’s the real thing.”
Uma also posted about her daughter’s new role.
Uma’s caption was equally as sweet. “My victorious loving mermaid daughter. A weekend of triumph on Stranger Things. Congratulations beloved.”
The Hawke-Thurman bloodline is definitely strong.
The couple may have split up, but their two children do look exactly like them. Uma shared this photo of herself, Maya, and Maya’s brother Levon, who could pass for Ethan’s twin.
Maya’s character in ‘Stranger Things’ is more important than just her resemblance to her parents.
While the show initially sets it up to look like Maya’s Robin and Joe Keery’s Steve Harrington might have a spark between them, it turns that all on its head.
When Steve confesses his feelings for Maya, her response is iconic.
She explains that what Steve interpreted as a crush on him was actually a crush on his girlfriend. This marks the first openly gay character on the show.
