"Stranger Things" Season 2 is all set for filming and cast members, such as Noah Schnapp (Will), have started packing their bags to return to the Atlanta set.

Noah Schnapp is ready to go back to work on "Stranger Things." On Instagram, the young actor posted a photo of the stuff he has packed for the shoot, which includes lots of books he has to make time for school on the set as well.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Noah Schnapp hints that his character on "Stranger Things" will be going through a lot of changes and it will elicit fear and confusion. "I think he's trying to fit in and act normal. But he's trying to hide what's actually happening to him," the actor said and added that it would be cool to play an evil side.

It seems secrets will be the underlying theme for "Stranger Things" Season 2 as David Harbour reveals that what his character had agreed to at the end of the first season. He made a deal to keep things under wraps with Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine).

"This season, we'll start to deal with some of that [secrets] and some of what he has to do to make sure that nobody knows that this ever occurred." the actor told an audience during a panel hosted by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. "He has a lot of different pots on the stoves he has to deal with," David Harbour reveals of his character's purpose in "Stranger Things." He also said that he's gone back to smoking to prepare for filming the second season, which will take six months in Atlanta. It's going to be a stressful time for the chief!

Deadline reports that two new young characters have been cast for "Stranger Things" Season 2. Creators Matt and Ross Duffer confirm that the upcoming season, scheduled for a 2017 release, will take place one year after the events of Season 1.
