Could season two of Strange Things get even stranger? IGN recently spoke to creators Ross and Matt Duffer about the future of the Netflix series.
The supernatural drama follows the search for a young boy who mysteriously goes missing. The cast includes Winona Ryder, Matthew Modine, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin.
When asked what a second season would look like, Matt said it would be more of a sequel than a direct continuation of season one:
We wanted to do a couple things with this season. We didn’t want to do The Killing thing. We wanted it to resolve that main thing of Will going missing in the first season. So in that sense, it is like an eight-hour movie. Now, we don’t answer all the questions by the end of the season – there are definitely some dangling threads. The hope is that it feels satisfying but that we left room and that if people respond to it we can go back into this world. But if we do get to go back, it’s not a second season as much as a sequel.”
While Netflix hasn’t officially renewed Stranger Things for a second season, star Matthew Modine says season two’s already been ordered.
Stranger Things premiered today, July 15th, on Netflix.

Love it!!! Intense and full of awesome characters. I’ll be looking out for Season 2!
nostalgia for my childhood, the goonies, gremlins, and poltergeist all mixed with a great cast, writing, and directing. Couldn’t ask for better. LOVED it!

Awesome show…binged on it this weekend…loved it, can’t wait for 2nd season!
Love it. Can’t wait for season 2!!!
Love this show and the music. It’s like a sci-fi version of Stand By Me.
I was born in 1990 so I never got to experience life in the 80s but I’ve always had this fascination about the lifestyle and culture back then. This show is without a doubt a tribute to the 80s and is one of the best Netflix series I’ve seen. The best part about this show is that it’s suitable for people of all ages, it’s mysterious, thrilling and would make a sci-fi fan proud, has bits of comedy, there’s a subtle love story throughout the show but it isn’t sappy. This is one of those shows that makes you happy… Read more »
Love this show and the music. It’s like a sci-fi version of ” Stand By Me”
Loved Season 1! It’s pretty intense for a kids TV series, but it put me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t stop watching it.
This is absolutely NOT a kids’ series.
Excellent series. Need next season!!!
Binge watched the show. Happy to see a thriller that I would not be embarrassed to watch with my teenage grandchildren. Waiting for Season 2
This is how every series should be. Instead of drawing things out and dragging it on far too long just for the sake of ratings. It was an extremely well done show with a very satisfying ending that leaves just the right amount of loose ends to ensure a good sequel. Kudos to Netflix.
I was completely hooked after watching–without blinking!!—the first 20 minutes of episode one. I haven’t felt this excited about a series since Dexter and Penny Dreadful. Truly, Stranger Things is well written, the cast impeccably selected and the undercurrent of creepiness/suspense compelling. It’s also a bit of a nostalgia journey…”I’ll Stop the World and Melt with You” (By Modern English) was the prom theme song my sophomore year of high school!
Binge watch the whole thing today. It was great! Can’t wait for more.
This series was the surprise Show that everyone hopes they stumble on. Its perfect. 30 to 40 year olds will feel like every childhood movie and show they love gave birth to this show. Thank you Netflix. I AM BLOWN AWAY!
