Stranger Things seemed to come out of nowhere to become one of television’s standout new series in 2016. Netflix’s sometimes scary, sometimes funny, and always exciting homage to ’80s pop culture was a binge-worthy phenomenon when it debuted in July 2016. Of course, the streaming giant wasn’t going to wait long to bring more Stranger Things to audiences, and a second season was announced a little over a month after its debut. Here are five key things we know about the show’s sophomore season.
1. WE’LL BE GETTING EVEN MORE EPISODES.
The first season of Stranger Things consisted of eight hour-long episodes, which proved to be a solid length for the story Matt and Ross Duffer wanted to tell. While season two won’t increase in length dramatically, we will be getting at least one extra hour when the show returns in 2017 with nine episodes. Not much is known about any of these episodes, but we do know the titles:
“Madmax”
“The Boy Who Came Back To Life”
“The Pumpkin Patch”
“The Palace”
“The Storm”
“The Pollywog”
“The Secret Cabin”
“The Brain”
“The Lost Brother”
There’s a lot of speculation about what each title means and, as usual with Stranger Things, there’s probably a reason for each one.
2. THE KIDS ARE RETURNING (INCLUDING ELEVEN).
Stranger Things fans should gear up for plenty of new developments in season two, but that doesn’t mean your favorite characters aren’t returning. A November 4 photo sent out by the show’s Twitter account revealed most of the kids from the first season will be back in 2017, including the enigmatic Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown (the #elevenisback hashtag used by series regular Finn Wolfhard should really drive the point home):
3. THE SHOW’S 1984 SETTING WILL LEAD TO A DARKER TONE.
A year will have passed between the first and second seasons of the show, allowing the Duffer brothers to catch up with a familiar cast of characters…
