The waiting from Netflix is over for the future of Stranger Things. The summer hit 1980's triller is renewed for a second season.
Season 2 will arrive sometime in 2017, it will consist of nine episodes. That's one more than the freshman season of eight. With the release of the teaser trailer, the story will pick up about a year later, in the fall of 1984. There are many returning characters are expected to comeback, though the creators of the series Mat and Ross Duffer aren't saying much about the key player, telling EW.com that Eleven' involvement is "up in the air."
Last month at the Television Critics Association summer press tour, the Duffer Brothers told reporters that a potential second season would delve into "bigger mythology" behind young Will Beyers' disappearance.
"There are definitely a lot of cliffhanger-y threads at the end (of season 1 finale)," explained Matt Duffer. "It's open-ended in a way that if people wanted it, and Netflix wanted it, we could explore it and continue the storyline."
Season 2 will add four new characters and venture "a little bit" outside Hawkins, Ind., the Duffers told EW.com.
