The coolest kids in Hawkins are on their way back into our lives.
We had recently heard that Netflix’s retro-inspired “Stranger Things” would be returning on Halloween, but the good news today is that it’s coming even sooner. The streaming service has just announced that Season 2 will arrive on Friday, October 27th. That gives you all of Halloween weekend to binge to your heart’s content!
In addition, an incredible poster was also released by Netflix, teasing the arrival of a brand new monster that’s set to make the Demogorgon seem like mere child’s play.
It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the Demogorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.
Finn Wolfhard recently teased that Season 2 will be “darker” and “more horror oriented“ than the first one.
As shown in the Super Bowl spot, a (massive) new monster is arriving in the town of Hawkins this coming season, which is set just about one year after the events of Season 1. Joyce Byers has a new boyfriend (played by Sean Astin!) and Eleven, well, she’s apparently still alive. We’ve even learned that Dustin will have a pet monster from another dimension!
Confirmed for the second season are Paul Reiser, Brett Gelman, Linnea Berthelsen, Dacre Montgomery, Will Chase, Rob Morgan, and Sadie Sink. They join the returning Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton.
