When does Stranger Things season 2 come out? Netflix release date, cast, trailer and more
When does Stranger Things season 2 come out on Netflix? Eleven and the gang will return to Netflix on Friday October 27. What is Stranger Things season 2 about? Creators Ross and Matt Duffer have described the new run as more of a “sequel” than a “second season”, with new mysteries, monsters and characters set to be introduced. When we return to Hawkins, just before Halloween, a full year has passed since the kids defeated the Demogorgon. Will is trying his best to settle back into normal life, but is haunted by flashbacks to the Upside Down. In the new season’s trailer, Will is thrown back to the parallel universe momentarily while hanging out at a video arcade.
He sees a giant, spider-like creature in his “PTSD-like” vision, which the kids dub the “shadow monster”. “It’s not like others have gone through this. No one has ever gone through this before,” Noach Schnapp, who plays Will, told Entertainment Weekly. “So Will’s confused, he’s scared, and he’s trying to cope with everything. “You’ll learn in the second season how the Upside Down is affecting him and how it’s kind of changing him.” Although Will has his family and friends to support him, one person he won’t be able to rely on is Eleven.

But the trailer confirmed that Eleven is alive if not well – revealing that she is trapped in the Upsode Down. Millie Bobby Brown, the elfin actress who plays Eleven, told EW that her storyline is a “coming of age” tale. “She’s learning how to be a normal teenager and she never had a normal childhood. “A big thing for her is to come into a world where she not only has powers but she has teenage issues. It’s something that I’m going through right now also so it’s pretty relatable.”

The Duffers have said that episode seven will be all about Eleven, hinting that she might be separated from her friends for a while. The writers have already said that season two will have multiple threads that come together at the end of the season. Unfortunately for actress Shannon Purser, Barb will not be as lucky as Eleven and will not return in the new run. However Natalie Dyer, who plays her best friend Nancy, has said that Barb will (finally) get justice. “Especially this season, Barb’s a big part of Nancy’s story line and that drive to — I don’t know how to say it otherwise — to find justice,” she told EW.
