Netflix will take viewers back to the fall of 1984. Early Wednesday morning, the streaming service announced Stranger Things season two would come out sometime in 2017.

Stranger Things season one was first released on July 15th, 2016 on Netflix and has become incredibly popular. The show is about the search for a missing 12-year-old boy in a small town in Indiana in 1983. During the search, the mother and authorities unravel a series of mysteries and secret government experiments.

The first season only had eight episodes, but Netflix has already announced the second will have nine. The cast isn’t necessarily full of big names: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Matthew Modine, Finn Wolfhard, Natalia Dyer, Cara Buono, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp, Millie Brown, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Chrest, Joe Keery, Rob Morgan, Ross Partridge, Shannon Purser, John Paul Reynolds, Mark Steger and Chris Sullivan all were in season one. No casting has been announced for the upcoming season.

Right after the show debuted on Netflix, creators Matt and Ross Duffer spoke with Variety about a potential second season. In the interview, the two explained what their goal is with the show.

“We want it to feel like a big movie,” Matt said. “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.”

“It’s about giving enough so the audience feels satisfied,” Ross continued.

Netflix has done well with its own series from House of Cards to Orange is the New Black to Bloodline to Master of None and now Stranger Things. It’s not surprise to see the streaming service announce a second season so soon after the first airs and by the time the second season airs, the show’s fan base will probably be much bigger as more and more watch season one every day.

Prior to the season two announcement, we wrote a couple pieces about a potential season two for the Netflix hit. The first was a dive into what a potential season two might look like for the show. The second looked into what made season one successful and why some of the same tactics shouldn’t be used in season two.
