While season one’s finale tied up most of its loose ends, it left a tantalising hint that more was to come from the supernaturally-tinged science fiction horror.

Set in the 1980s and written by Matt and Ross Duffer of Wayward Pines and Hidden, season one was executive produced and partly directed by Shawn Levy of the Night at the Museum Trilogy.

The Duffer brothers return, as does Shawn Levy in a production capacity, while Variety indicates that the second season will run for 8 episodes.
