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.
What do you think? Have you seen Stranger Things yet? Are you excited about the Netflix series?
It’s amazing! Kudos to Netflix. Whatever you do, please bring back Eleven. Please, please, please. Don’t kill that kid. She has amazing acting skills and awesome powers. Please!!
My childhood. What a walk down memory lane. Perfect, just perfect. From He-Man on the T.V. to the little fights the boys got into, they nailed it. I hope there is a season 2. If you grew up in the 80’s and played D&D, loved horror/paranormal movies and loved the music, this show is worth the time spent.
Watched the whole thing start to finish. My only disappointment was “Wills mothers” acting and a lot of her lines were overbearing to listen too and I kept telling her to “shut up” most of the time, but as far as the storyline, I was intrigued after each episode to watch the next, great show overall…..
Just finished watching the whole season! Wow! Amazing! It was like a show from my child hood but it wasnt. It seemed so fimilar and new at the same time! Greatest 7 hrs of my life! Thanks Duffer Bros. Its a instant classic! It must be back for more! “Friends don’t lie” “Promise” 11 I know your out there!
Please bring back 11! What a talented amazing actress!! The show is fantastic! It’s every 80’s movie and song and memory in one! I love it, but it’s way too sad if that poor girl gets killed off. Please bring her back!
Just saw it tonight. Literally stayed up all night to see it in one sitting. So good. See, this is why I can never cancel Netflix, even with scripts to Prime and cable. Their original programming is better than most pay-per-view (barring perhaps HBO). Can’t wait for season 2. Oh, and I know it’s a minor thing and a bit silly, but I absolutely LOVE that 80’s looking intro/theme music.
I ALSO love the music in the beginning! The whole soundtrack is amazing. It is such an excellent homage to one of, I think, the best decades. The movie It Follows did that too and I kept getting reminded of it while watching Stranger Things.
It’s currently 5:04 am and I just finished watching ALL 8 episodes in one sitting. Omg this show is so goo, it has to come back.
I just finished binge watching it myself a couple of minutes ago. It was super awesome. The acting, directing, writing, and cinematography were all top notch. I cant wait for season 2 as well, And yes, I too love that 80’s style intro!
Did the exact same thing it was one of the greatest 8 hours of my life! Sad that we have to wait for more! Please bring it back
I’m glad I’m not the only one who stayed up until 10 am starting last night to watch this lol. I just couldn’t stop.
A must see! Absolutely beautiful series! If I could sum it up in one word, it would have to be PHENOMENAL! Bring on season 2!!
OMG didn’t UN-a$$ my couch all day til I soaked up every single mili-second of this show! Yo, bros, can’t thank you enough for this righteous breath of fresh air! My new love is named Eleven! Hope there’s more to come! Praying, crossing my fingers! Loved LOVED IT!!! Good job like no other!
Just finished binge watching it. This show was so good! I grew up in the 80s. It brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. It even had the feel of those old 80s flicks. Loved the music and atmosphere. I wished more shows were like this instead of dragging things out. This show is proof you don’t need a constant stream of profanity and nudity to make a great show. I really hope they do a season 2! I can’t wait to watch it!
I’m hooked. Great cast (despite the overly neurotic WR and the perpetually angry Lucas) and great story. All the details – wardrobe, hairstyle, music, even down to the font-choice for intro and credits, etc. – are in place for the time period which makes it believable and therefore so easy to slip into the alternate reality.
Loved it. Had to watch all episodes today.
I thought the show was great. I started the 1st episode last night on the 15th, finished the season this evening the 16th. I hope they move forward with a 2nd season.
Loved it! My husband, our 2 boys (ages 8 and 11), and myself just sat and watched the entire season. We want more!
Loved the new series Stranger Things!! Casting was excellent and story was fast paced and exciting, so much so that we watched it all. Every ending was a cliffhanger. Can’t wait for the next series!!!
I’m watching episode 7 now and I definitely need more seasons!
