‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Air Date, News & Update: Netflix Renewal Confirms Eleven, Four New Characters In Dark S2?

Confirmation that Netflix is bringing "Stranger Things" Season 2 comes with the buzz that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) will be returning for a darker S2. The new Netflix season of "Stranger Things" will see four new characters join Jane "Eleven" Ives, Will Byers and returning cast as creators Matt and Ross Duffer continue the tale.

E! News reports that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will be longer with nine episodes and will resume events a year after 1983 of S1. "Stranger Things" Season 2 will do away with any attempt at anthology and resume the tale with Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo) among others.

  Four new characters will join "Stranger Things" Season 2 as the Netflix series will tackle the Upside Down and the mysteries of Hawkins, Indiana once more. Remarkably, Matt and Ross Duffer say that Eleven in "Stranger Things" Season 2 is up in the air for now.

Given that Eleven is one of, if not, the most popular character in "Stranger Things" Season 2, return of the Netflix series without Millie Bobby Brown would create waves. Understandably, the Duffer brothers and executive producer Dan Cohen are reluctant to give "Stranger Things" Season 2 a samey feeling and with Eleven being the biggest name in the Netflix series right now as Yahoo reports, the announcement delay is expected.

 

One might also take note that the Netflix delay in confirming "Stranger Things" Season 2 having created a bigger buzz for the Duffer brothers series may also give a hint on the uncertainty of Eleven in S2 for now. Parent Herald cites reports that the Duffer brothers themselves spoke of exploring a team up between Eleven and Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) when "Stranger Things" continues.

One thing fans of the Netflix series can count on is that Eleven, Jim Hopper and both returning and new cast of "Stranger Things" Season 2 will find a much darker set up in Hawkins. "We want a sequel that feels like it's bigger and badder and darker, while answering more of the questions and getting deeper into what's going on," Dan Cohen promised of the new "Stranger Things" episodes.

Vox advises that while Eleven and the Demogorgon may have been entrancing in "Stranger Things" Season 1, fans of the Netflix series should watch out for the real villain(s) in the story. In "Strangers Things" Season 1, the Demogorgon had been happily existing in the Upside Down until Dr Brenner (Matthew Modine) brought it into Hawkins using Eleven.

Netflix is scheduled to release "Stranger Things" Season 2 to a 1984 setting in 2017. Would you be happy to watch "Stranger Things" Season 2 even if the Netflix series and the Duffer brothers do no return with Eleven?
