Season 2 of Netflix’s critically acclaimed 80’s style original series Stranger Things is set to land on October 31, 2017. Netflix dropped the trailer for Season 2 during last night’s Super Bowl.
The trailer, which begins with an 80’s waffle commercial, shows the main cast in a couple of scenes wearing Ghostbuster outfits, complete with homemade Proton Packs. The trailer then displays a ton of creepy imagery, including a large spider shaped silhouette against a red horizon and ends with the shows outstanding synth soundtrack.
The first season of Stranger Things focused on the disappearance of a young boy, and the appearance of a young girl with psychokinetic powers named Eleven. Eleven helps the boy’s friends search for him, while the boy’s older brother, his mother, and the town police chief start their own investigations.
Season 2 will take place about a year after the events of the first season, and will explore the ‘bigger mythology’ of Will’s disappearance. Last year, Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy told Collider that Season 2 will showcase characters coming to terms with the events of the first series.
“Will Byers was in that Upside Down for a while. So Season 2 is about this determined desire to return to normalcy in Hawkins, in the Byers family, in that group of friends, and it’s the struggle to reclaim normalcy and maybe the impossibility of it.”
Levy also added:
“There are several new characters who I think several of them are going to be new fan favourites because they’re great, great new characters. But we are definitely sticking primarily with our core group, and what is different, how are they changed from the experience of last season. Maybe ‘normal’ is never possible again.”
The show which recently picked up a Screen Actors Guild award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, is inspired by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Stephen King, Robert Zemeckis, and George Lucas, among others.
Season one is currently available to stream on Netflix.
