Season 2 (2017)
Stranger Things Season 2 premieres on October 27
Season one was set in 1983 where a mother tries to find her son after he disappears mysteriously in the small town of Hawkins. Read my season 1 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 release date for season 2 was confirmed in July with an accompanying poster.
The Duffer brothers have confirmed season 3, and are planning a season 4 as the last season.
An ad for season 2 ran during the Super Bown in February, with a Comic Con trailer release in July.
All of the original cast is returning, including Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) while adding two new regulars announced in October 2016 - 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.
