In his speech, Harbour vowed to "hunt monsters" and "punch some people in the face." He also revealed that the current political climate in America may have an impact on the story of the upcoming season.

Harbour described Season 2 as "bigger and potentially darker," just as how co-executive producer Shawn Levy previously described it in a previous interview. In Harbour's interview with Vanity Fair, he said, "These characters that I feel like are so iconic, and that we love so deeply, get to really go on different arcs and different journeys and explore these little things that we touched on in their personalities and psychologies. And we get to really expand on that. I really do think it's going to be thrilling and you can tweet at me that I'm an idiot if it's not."

He went on to reveal that Season 2 would commence a year after the events in the Season 1 finale, so fans can expect several things to have already happened, including Will's return. According to him, some people in the town would know what happened within the last one year, while some wouldn't, so there is going to be a lot of fallout with who knows what.

Meanwhile, Levy said in a separate interview during the SAG Awards that "Stranger Things" Season 2 would be about lifting the downtrodden, saying that the Netflix hit has always been about the marginalized, non-cookie cutter and the people in the fictional town of Hawkins.

Moreover, Levy explained that despite being terrifying at first, Eleven was able to show some humanity. According to him, such themes are "of this time, and will continue to be." Series creator Ross Duffer also hinted that modern politics would be echoed in the show, People reported.

"Stranger Things" Season 2 is expected to be released sometime this 2017. Watch the Season 2 trailer here:
