Stranger Things gets greenlight for second season.

This Summer, Netflix released the series Stranger Things and quickly it became arguably the best product the popular streaming service has put out. With millions of people binge-waching the eight-episode epic, many have been left addicted and yearning for the nostalgic adventure to return, wishing that a second season is on the table.



Today, those wishes have been granted.

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Netflix has greenlit a second season and sat down for a chance to talk to the creators of the series Matt and Ross Duffer, the Duffer Brothers, on what to expect from the upcoming second season, due out sometime in 2017. The Duffers go on to explain that the second season will be a continuation of season one, with the original cast returning... possibly.

Ross Duffer:
"I don't think we ever thought of it as an anthology. I think we talked like a larger time jump where the kids are older now and it's a different decade. That's something we battled around from the very beginning. But for us, there's still more story here [in the 1980s], there's still things that are unresolved... We don't know about Eleven. We leave that up in the air."

The article goes on to talk about the addition of new characters, a ninth episode, a James Cameron sequel influence, the town of Hawkins not being the only setting, and the return of the Upside Down.



If you have yet to see Stranger Things, fire up your AppleTV, Roku, iPad, iPhone, Galaxy or whatever you prefer when attending the church of Netflix and get to viewing. This series is the perfect mixture of Steven Spielberg-inspired characters in a John Carpenter-inspired story. The opening credits themselves, which have garnered an interest that equals to that of the series as a whole, are the perfect homage to the '80s horror genre. The dark, haunting original score lingers in your home while the gritty titles of red and black slowly move throughout your screen with the choppy, flickering effect of a VHS tape. To fast forward through the opening is an injustice, for it is the opening sequence that sets the tone and places you in the dark adventure you are about to experience.

Again, if you have yet to see this series, you need to.

If you have... watch it again... and again.

Is it 2017 yet?
