The creators of the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, Matt and Ross Duffer give us juicy details about Season 2.

The next season have not officially been given the greenlight so there is no release date.

Update: Stranger Things 2 has been confirmed and is coming to Netflix in 2017. Check out the teaser below:

However, given the critical and commercial success of the show, it is almost guaranteed that the series continues and the Duffer brothers have enough material for several seasons.

Season 1 spoilers below and look out for the kids of the show who are expected to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon next week.

With the rapid maturation of the young cast, the next season will be set a year after the events of Season 1.

It looks like the creators expect a bigger budget for the next season, as Matt Duffer told IGN that there will be more visual effects for them to implement in the show.

Stranger Things Season 2 will get more sinister and weird so expect more monsters and details explaining the Upside Down world.

Season 2 will be set in 1984, and the Duffer brothers stated that they will take inspiration from hit movies released that year, such as Ghostbusters, Temple of Doom, Karate Kid, and Gremlins.

Don’t expect any annoying cliffhangers at the end. The Duffer brothers plan on creating a new mystery and solving it by the end of the series. The showrunners think of it as a movie rather than another season.

Just like Will Byers went missing and was found by the end of the eight episodes. The follow-up will continue that formula of creating a problem that needs to be solved – given the series a detective-like plot.

Even though Steve turned out to be less of the jock stereotype than he friends. Most fans of the show are hoping that Jonathan and Nancy get together.

Matt Duffer told IGN that Nancy and Jonathan is still a fantasy due to Byers lack of experience with dating. However, Duffer hints that a relationship between the two is something that could still happen so fingers crossed.

Many fans of the show were upset about the way things ended for Barb. The creators reveal that there will be justice for Barb in Season 2. Duffer reveals that she will not have died in vain, and Stranger Things will explore the after effects of her death:

“So part of what we want to do in the hypothetical Season 2 is to explore the repercussions of everything that happened. Everything was left a bit of a mess in that there’s a little bit of clean-up to be done. It was so messy that it’s impossible to completely clean that up so a lot of it bubbles to the surface in Season 2.”

Don’t expect the cast of the hit show to change much. The creators will introduce new characters but your favorites are expected to return, including Eleven, played by breakout star Millie Bobby Brown.

“Obviously something happened to [Eleven] when she destroyed and killed that monster and we don’t know where she went,” according to a Variety interview. “But we like the idea of potentially putting her and Hopper together.”

In the last episode of Season 1, Sheriff Hopper is seen leaving Eleven’s Eggos, which suggested that she may still be alive.

It seems like in Stranger Things Season 2 we can expect more of a relationship between Hopper and Eleven.

The show creators suggest that Hopper may feel partly responsible for leading the Upside Down scientist to Eleven and the other kids.

We also see him enter a car; therefore, it is expected that the Sheriff knows some things that are yet to be revealed to the audience.

There are a lot of unanswered questions and elements that could be added to the plot next season of the show.

With an exciting cast and excellent writing, most fans can expect another hit season, which will probably be released sometime next year.
