Who is Caroline Elle Abrams? Stranger Things 5 breakout star sparks frenzy as fans try to uncover her real age

Who is Caroline Elle Abrams?

Stranger Things 5 has brought back its core cast but also introduced a handful of intriguing newcomers, one of whom is Caroline Elle Abrams. Caroline plays the sharp-tongued and stylish Tina Turnbow. Despite appearing briefly, she has already caught the attention of viewers, becoming one of the breakout faces of the final season.

According to Parade, Caroline appears in just one major scene early in the season, yet manages to steal the spotlight with a comedic yet pivotal moment. The young actress was previously seen in the series Me and lent her voice to Kylie in R.A.D.A.R.: The Adventures of the Bionic Dog, as listed on her IMDb page. But with Stranger Things 5, her fame has surged overnight, and so has curiosity around her personal life.

One question that continues to dominate fan discussions is: How old is Caroline Elle Abrams?

Surprisingly, no one knows. Neither Netflix nor the producers of Stranger Things have confirmed her age. No reputable publication, including Variety, nor any agency listing has provided verified details.

This lack of information has only intensified speculation. Fans on Reddit, Wikipedia discussions, and social platforms are convinced she is a teenage newcomer. Even Millie Bobby Brown’s age was known from the start of the series, yet Caroline’s Instagram gives away nothing. Reports suggest her age is being deliberately protected, even more so if she is a minor, under industry policies that safeguard underage actors from public scrutiny.

Parade reports that Caroline began acting at the age of five, which aligns with assumptions that she is still very young. Fans have tried digging through birthday posts, past roles, interviews, and online archives, but every search has led to “empty results.” The consensus is that her age remains undisclosed for privacy and safety reasons. For now, there is no verified information about Caroline’s exact age.

On Stranger Things 5, Caroline Elle Abrams features in Episode 3, The Turnbow Trap, as Erica Sinclair’s former best friend turned rival. When Will (Noah Schnapp) realises that Tina’s younger brother may be Vecna’s next target, the gang devises a rescue mission, one that hinges on Erica reconciling with Tina. The tense, comedic exchange includes a dr**-laced pie, a failed peace offering, and Erica ultimately warning her ex-bestie with the line: “I told you to eat your pie.”

Before landing this role, Caroline worked in theatre, commercials, and small television gigs, maintaining a low profile throughout her early career. Fans first heard of her character when Erica mentioned plans to stay the night at her best friend Tina’s house, hinting at a long backstory between the two. Season 5 later reveals their fallout over a boy at school—classic Hawkins drama.
