Will is in the hospital for some reason, Eleven is putting her telekinesis back to use, and a new monster is terrorizing Hawkins. This time around, the Netflix gods have heard our cries and we're getting 9 episodes, which means we have an extra hour for even more strange things to happen!įrom the looks of the trailers for Season 2, we'll be lost in a whole new set of mysteries. The only part that sucks about Season 1, though, is there are only eight episodes, and when they're all done you kinda feel like Joyce searching for Will, only you're searching for new episodes and your mom would be pissed if you painted an alphabet on the walls and chain-smoked cigarettes in the living room. We were all sucked into the Upside Down with Will Byers, and we weren't rescued until the final episode. It's no surprise that Season 1 of Stranger Things took everyone with a Netflix account (or their BFF's Netflix account password) by storm. As if that weren't exciting enough, this season of Stranger Things has more episodes than Season 1 did, so sit back, put on your new bra, and get ready to time travel back to the '80s because - if the trailer is any indication - we're in for one hell of a ride this season. That's right, the countdown is officially on and the popular Netflix original is set to return with a whole bunch of new thrills for us to savor on October 27. Any binge-watcher will agree it's been too long since we've been blessed with new episodes of Stranger Things thankfully, though, Netflix has our backs (as usual) and Season 2 is creeping up on us like the Demogorgon creeped up on Barb while she was danglin' her lil feet in the deep end of Steve's pool.
