“Stranger Things” became a sensation when it was released in early July, earning a place in viewers hearts thanks to its gripping story about a young boy who disappears into thin air, leading to his friends, family and the local law enforcement to search for him, leading to a supernatural discovery.

The series creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, will return for Season 2, as well as the series executive producers Dan Cohen and Shawn Levy (Levy also directed two episodes of Season 1).

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer Brothers expressed their delight at being able to continue the story of “Stranger Things”, with Matt Duffer saying:

“We’re really excited about continuing the story. There’s a comfort factor in that we know people love and have responded to this world and these characters. As much as possible, we’re trying to approach it the same as season one, which is to write stuff that we’re excited about and we think is cool. The hope is that it translates to the fans and that people fall in love with it again.”

Ross Duffer also talked about the pairs’ approach to Season 1, which they hoped to reproduce again for the upcoming season:

“Just like we treated the first season like a big movie, we wanna treat this like a big movie as well and we don’t wanna coast on these characters. We’re trying to swing for the fences on this one.”

With two such caring creators it sounds like Season 2 is in safe hands – 2017 cannot come soon enough! Will you be watching “Stranger Things”?
