"Stranger Things" Season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix, and fans could not wait when "Stranger Things" Season 2 will air or if it is really going to happen. The show creators Matt and Ross Duffer recently dropped some bombshells that may give fans a little bit of peace of mind.
As much as fans wanted to know the real score on "Stranger Things" Season 2, the Duffer brothers gave some hints about the '80s throwback science-fiction series. The showrunners revealed that the new season is going to take place in 1984, which they think is an amazing year because they would never run out of pop culture references. It was the year when great films such as "Temple of Doom," "Ghostbusters," "Karate Kid" and "Gremlins" came out.
"Something like Temple of Doom," Matt told IGN. "I actually really love Temple of Doom, I love that it gets a little darker and weirder from Raiders, I like that it feels very different than Raiders did."
The Duffer brothers also teased that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will have no difference with Season 1 in terms of resolving the conflicts and mysteries. The showrunners shared that they want to think that they are making a movie sequel that they prefer to call it "Stranger Things" 2 instead of a TV series.
As far as Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Steve Harrington (Joe Kerry) relationship is concerned, little bumps between the two may happen in the end that may give Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) a chance with Nancy. On whether how long the Duffer brothers will be able to tell "Stranger Things" stories, Matt admitted that they are still figuring things out until when they can run it. He also shared that they already have an ending in mind and it is up to them when they are going to end in a believable way.
The Duffer brothers recently shed some light on why Netflix has not renewed "Stranger Things" Season 2 yet at the Television Critics Association (TCA) fall preview in July. As long as people wanted Netflix will continue the show, but Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarando stated that Netflix is not ready to give the signal for a new season yet.
With the Duffer brothers not speaking directly about the new season premiere, fans got worried that the show may be cancelled along the way. However, it is not the case with the critically-acclaimed horror TV series because Netflix had no history of not renewing a series for Season 2, according to TV Guide.
