It felt like there was a nice alignment between what we wanted to see and what other people wanted to see. Like we fell in love with Gaten, and there were aspects, like Barb, we were already planning to deal with. With 'Stranger Things' S eason one being a hit drama, a big possibility of a second season is more likely to come out. Matt Duffer stated that the second season will have to be a sequel to the first one. Says Matt, “The good news is that a lot of what we wanted to see or what we responded to, that seems to be what the audience responded to. In an interview with Empire Online, the Duffer Brothers, who are responsible for the series, talk about a possibility of a second season. “I was like, ‘Yes, but what about T2 and Aliens and Toy Story 2 and Godfather II?’ ” Before the official greenlight came for Things 2, the Duffers had been quietly plotting the next round of interdimensional adventure. “When we started describing it as a sequel, Netflix was like, ‘Don’t do that, because sequels are known to be bad,’ ” says Matt. To that end, when the show comes back it will have the cinematic moniker Stranger Things 2.
“It’s almost like season 1 was drinking a Coke and season 2 they drank a Red Bull.” The Duffers have envisioned the return as not so much a second season but a movie sequel. “It’s Stranger Things but just sorta hopped up a little,” says Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler. 27, fans will finally get to see Things’ bigger, badder second installment (To celebrate the return, EW has three different covers featuring the cast).
