Stranger Things Season 2: One of the best tv shows on Netflix, the Stranger Things is finally releasing its second season. The first installment was short but amazing. You should consider it if you are searching what to watch next on Netflix.

As per the official announcement, it will be released on Halloween, i.e., October 31, 2017.

Stranger Things Season 2 Trailer

The trailer is already making fans crazy for the second season in the tv series. Let us break the trailer.

In the trailer, we can see the blink of Eleven, there is not much appearance of Eleven in the trailer, but it is confirmed that she will come back in the show very soon.

Dressed in Ghostbuster outfits, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin can also be seen on their bikes again. In another scene, we can see the Sherrif Jim Hopper got stuck in the explosion, this place of the explosion is looking very similar to his own home and Byer’s home.

As reported, the new episodes are set in 1984 and the kids are seen embracing the phenomenon of the year in their little Ghostbusters outfits.

We can see the glimpse of a new character is the released video, but it is difficult to talk about this character. It may or may not be the part of the team.

The clip ends, showing Will tie up in some machine and getting tested by some people. Why is this happening? It may be because of his traumatic experience Or maybe he has got the same powers as Eleven. And it seems someone is watching him through a screen.

Villain / Antagonist / Monster

This monster will definitely make the new episodes “bigger and darker” as they promised earlier. When the lightning strikes on the sketch the massive spider-like becomes visible.

But we are expecting more from Will. In the new images released from Netflix, we can see the first look of Max (Sadie Sink)- a new team member of the gang.

Stranger Things Season 2 Episodes

The earlier trailer which was released in August 2016 unleashed the episode titles which are as follows:

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 is only one episode without ‘The’ in the title, so we can expect something important in it. There will be a character named ‘Max’ in the first episode and her brother ‘Billy’ would be revealed in the last one.

Episode one didn’t focus on Will and hence, we are assuming that the second episode named ‘The Boy Who Came Back To Life’, will be oriented towards Will but, it is just an expectation. Hence, we need to wait for it. Noah Schnapp who plays Will has also confirmed that season 2 will take the season 1’s story forward.

In an interview with Deadline, Harbour said that some parts of the show will piss off some fans. He gave the ice cream analogy and said that who like vanilla flavor may not like strawberry one.

Where To Watch Stranger Things Season 2 Online?

It will definitely be available on Netflix after the release. Until then, we can’t do except wait.

The Stranger Things Season 2 Cast

Here is the good news for all. All the previous characters are returning, the kids at least. In the facebook post by the team of StrangerThings, we can see the entire gang which means that Eleven, Mike, Will, Lucas, Dustin, Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan will all be back. New characters named Billy and Max will also join this gang.

There are rumors that Eleven will be returned in an episode titled‘The Secret Cabin’. If our sources are not mistaken, then she is hiding there after the fight with the Demogorgon.

Ghostbusters costume is showing that this show has a story of Halloween 1984, As Matt Duffer said that Will is back and he is seeing images from the Upside Down but it is not sure that these images are real or not. Will’s Mother is trying to get normalcy to their house by dating Bob, her former high school classmate.

Hopper is trying retaining his orders in Hawkins. As Harbour told to EW that it will be like a fall for Hopper to say ‘This did happen and this didn’t happen,’. Nancy and Mike are struggling to terms with the death of pals Barb and Eleven in the wheeler’s house.

Talking about the role of Hopper, he added that Hopper saved Will and has regained the interest in his life. In Stranger Things season 2, he will join against the places where he couldn’t butt up in his hero fantasy. This is the places which force him to take the inappropriate decisions due to his hero complex.

One of the two newcomers named Max will join the team and on the other hand, Billy seems to be the villain of this year.

In an Interview with Hollywood Life David Harbour told that upcoming episodes would cause a bit of friction as there are people who know what happened in the town and there are people who don’t know what happened.

The new installment will be more like a sequel, confirmed by the Duffer brothers. Other people related to series including Executive Producer Dan Cohen and Charlie Heaton said that the second season will be darker. Sources confirmed that Stranger Things season 2 will be full of actions and in the later stage there will be more horror in the show.

Mark Duffer said that the opening scene will not take place in the fictional Hawkins, Indiana and also a little bit outside of Hawkins. He added that they will explore upside down this time but not much until they find Will at the end. It will be interesting to see what’s more is behind there?

There is also a possibility that Upside down will come to them. Noah Schnapps, (Will) has clued that his character can also convert into the Demogorgon and there would be many more new characters. Schnapp also said that his character will start from where he ended up in last season. There can be some changes in his character.

The fantastic music duo of the S U R V I V E will be back in the season 2. Well, they are not sure about the role of upside down. There will be new characters and hence this band is going to make more weird music this time, confirmed by Kyle Dixon, one of the band members.

Why the Jim Hopper’s daughter died is still the secret which may be revealed in Stranger Things season 2. Talking about the issue of Nancy/Jonathan/Steve, the character of Nancy will be more emotional this time and Natalia Dyer told that it will be interesting to watch the change in the relationship after what happened.

Fans are also excited to watch that how she deals with the situation after he lost her friend Barb. She also added that Nancy will be more badass this time. Talking about this issue, Steve actor Joe Keery, said that they are also looking forward to seeing how this event will affect their relationship.

But productions are hiding all plot details of Stranger Things season 2. This secret is the reason because of which Stranger Things has become the phenomenon as Levy told Screen Rant. He told that it is delicious torture in not knowing the stuff which is coming.

Duffer Brothers can change the character of Eleven completely. Presently Eleven is the very violent character who is brutally killing people. Speaking to Vulture, Ross said that they are very clear about what Eleven will be in season 2.

In an interview with NME, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings and Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said that season 1 was fantastic it was a full package of entertainment for fans. Hasting added that Netflix is expecting it to be grand.

Duffers brothers have confirmed that the Stranger Things season 2 will be set in a year later, i.e., in 1984. Matt told IGN that they wanted to have this season on Christmas 2016 but this time is not feasible and hence it will release next year with all work done require for the show.

According to Charlie Heaton, there will be time leap but it won’t be noticeable. As he told to ET, the characters will be seen after a year and we will see them in the world of Hawkins. Though the second season will come after a whole year, but we while watching the second season we will get back to where we left off the first season.

This will pave out a way to homage to some new/vintage material like Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Aliens, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. As Duffer said that they are trying to get a little bit of all those wonderful movies.

How will Stranger Things Season 2 Characters look like?

The hairstyle of the season will consist of mullets and perms. Lead hairstylist of season named Sarah Hindsgaul said that in 1984 also they are in the world of Hawkins, Indiana. No one wants perms and mullets in that period and hence this time they will use lots of wigs.

The beautiful pompadour of Steve may get chopped. Look of Nancy will also revamp. This year nancy will have big hair and drastic look. But her look was not looking changed at The Golden Globes.
