More "Stranger Things" news has been coming out recently, especially after the huge buzz that followed the Super Bowl trailer for "Stranger Things" Season 2. In a recent interview, creators Ross and Matt Duffer revealed how many seasons the show will run before it closes its curtains.
Speaking to EW, the Duffer brothers revealed that they envision "Stranger Things" to last four or five seasons for now, but the numbers may change in the future. "I want it to have a really finite ending. I don't want it to be one of those shows that runs out of gas and they lose it because they're losing interest. You wanna end when you're on top," Matt Duffer said.
With "Stranger Things" Season 2, the show maintains the same formula it used for the first season's narrative, particularly in that the sophomore outing will be coherent enough to appear like its one long movie.
Meanwhile, "Stranger Things" Season 2 is definitely going to be bigger than its predecessor. In an interview with producer Vanity Fair Shawn Levy teased that the upcoming season will be bigger and darker.
"The threat, which in Season 1 was to Will Byers, has grown. That's all I'm going to say! But, I will say Season 2 has a bigger cast and is definitely loyal to the kind of magical storytelling that we established in the first season. It's character-based and still about our core group of characters," Levy said.
The second season picks up in 1984 around Halloween, which is about a year after the events in the first season. Everything is seemingly back to normal in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, but little do they know that "darkness lurks just beneath the surface."
The main cast members will return to reprise their roles, including Millie Bobbie Brown, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matarazzo, Finn Wolfhard and Caleb McLaughlin. New cast members will also join the gang: Sadie Sink, Linnea Berthelesen, Dacre Montgomery and Sean Astin.
"Stranger Things" Season 2 will premiere around Halloween this year.
