Who are Mike Wheeler's parents in the series "Stranger Things"?

Mike Wheeler's parents in Stranger Things are Karen and Ted Wheeler. Karen is his mother, and Ted is his father; the family lives in Hawkins, Indiana.

Mike is the middle child and only son of the Wheeler family. His older sister is Nancy Wheeler, while his younger sister is Holly Wheeler. The Wheelers are one of the show's central suburban families, living close to Mike's friends Dustin Henderson and Lucas Sinclair.

Karen is generally portrayed as a caring but often unaware parent who does not understand the supernatural dangers surrounding her children. Ted, meanwhile, is more detached and frequently seen sleeping in his recliner or struggling to connect with the kids. Their limited awareness is a recurring contrast to the extraordinary events happening around Hawkins.

A common mix-up is confusing Mike's parents with other important adult characters, such as Joyce Byers, Will's mother, or Jim Hopper, Eleven's adoptive father figure. Mike's family name is Wheeler, so the canonical answer is Karen Wheeler and Ted Wheeler.
