The announcement was expected, as the show has already garnered much fanfare both critically and with viewers. The perfect combo of 80s nostalgia and supernatural filled drama, the show left us wanting more.
The Duffer Brothers will be returning as writers for the second season, which will be comprised of 9 episodes. They will also be executive producing alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen.
Matt Duffer had said in an interview, before this announcement was made, "We want it to feel like a big movie. But there's a bigger mythology, and there's a lot of dangling threads at the end. We could explore it if Netflix wanted to continue." Ross added, "It's about giving enough so the audience feels satisfied."
Season 2 of Stranger Things will be released in 2017.
