Stranger Things Season 2, titled Stranger Things 2, picks up a year after the events of Season 1. It was released worldwide on Netflix on October 27, 2017. Here’s a quick recap:

• The kids are trying to get back to normal, but Will is still haunted by his experiences in the Upside Down.
• A new threat emerges from the Upside Down, and Eleven returns to help her friends battle the darkness.
• New characters are introduced, including Max, a tomboyish girl who befriends Dustin and Lucas, and her troubled older brother Billy.
• Sheriff Hopper is still trying to keep the secrets of Hawkins Lab buried, but he soon finds himself drawn back into the mystery.

Stranger Things Season 2 was another critical and commercial success. It was praised for its even more suspenseful story, well-developed characters, and its continuation of the 1980s nostalgia.
