Stranger Things (2016-)
Season 2 (2017)
Stranger Things Season 2 premieres on October 27
Ahead of the season 2 premiere, this video overlays 16 bit video game RPG styled text and interface over scenes from season 1. The Hawkins gang fills their inventory and levels up before landing a critical hit on the monster. The video ends with the text, "to be continued."
The release date for season two was confirmed in July with the comic con trailer releasing later that month. A Super Bowl ad ran back in February.
Season one was set in 1983 where a mother tries to find her son after he disappears mysteriously in the small town of Hawkins. Check out my review.
Season 2 is set one year later, and is more of a sequel than continuation. There will be more scenes in the upside down world, more monsters, and additional settings.
The Duffer brothers have confirmed season 3, and are planning a season 4 as the last season.
All of the original cast is returning, including Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) while adding two new regulars - Max and Billy. Billy (Dacre Montgomery) is a black Camaro driving bad boy and Max (Sadie Sink) is his tom boy step sister.
Sean Astin will play Radioshack manager Bob, a high school classmate of Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour).
Paul Reiser is Dr. Owens from the Department of Energy, a suit tasked with containing the events from last year.
Roman (Linnea Berthelsen) is an emotionally damaged woman that suffered a loss as a child. She is connected to the lab from season 1.
The Duffer brothers and many writers from season 1 will return.The Duffer brothers will draw inspiration from '80s action-adventure sequels, namely Temple of Doom, The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, and Terminator 2.
Finn Wolfhard who plays Mike suggested watching The Goonies, Aliens, and Ghostbusters in preparation for season 2.
