Rejoice,Stranger Thingsfans. Season 2 is happening, and it's coming in 2017.
Netflix confirmed the news across its various social media channels, blasting out a short, exceedingly cryptic teaser. It lookslike the series' familiar intro sequence, but something else is going on here.

Instead of highlighting the names of the show's stars, snippets of text instead seem to reference... other things. Plot points? References to the 1980s setting? References to Season 1? Something else entirely?
The teaser ends, fittingly, with the normal Stranger Thingslogo being replaced with the words: Season Two.

The final text that appears before "Season Two" -- "In the fall of 1984... the adventure continues" -- establishes the next season's setting. But what about the rest?
You know what those nine lines of text read like? Episode titles. It seems impossiblyearly for the Duffer Brothers, the series creators, to have such a specific thing done. And yet, it's one of the more likely possibilities.
In fact, Entertainment Weeklyhas already confirmed that Season 2 will run for nine episodes. So there's your answer. That EW article also shares some other details about what to expect, but we won't spoil it for you here.
