The Demogorgon is dead. Who, or what, is arriving in Hawkins next?
Speaking with Gold Derby this week, “Stranger Things” producer Shawn Levy remained pretty mum about the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit series, but he did tease the threats that await Will, Dustin and the rest of the gang this time around. Specifically, he promises that the Demogorgon will soon seem like mere child’s play.
“I’m so forbidden to say so very much,” Levy told the podcast. “Will Byers is very much at the centre of several intersecting challenges and threats in season 2. And I think overall the kind of forces of evil that are inherent in season 2 make that Demogorgon look quaint in retrospect.”
Along the same lines, young star 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, it looks like 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.
“Stranger Things” returns on Halloween.
