What will happen in Stranger Things season 2?

A year after the events of the first season, we return to Hawkins, Indiana where Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) is struggling to adjust to life after the Upside Down.

While hanging out with his friends Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) at a video games arcade, he finds himself thrown back to the hellish parallel dimension, and spots a spider-like “Shadow Monster” looming over Hawkins.

Mum Joyce (Winona Ryder) and brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) are desperate to help Will, but friends Dustin and Lucas are somewhat distracted by the arrival of a new girl, Max ().

“Dustin and Lucas end up kind of falling in love with her,” Finn told People.

“And she sort of gets into the group, and I’m not really happy with it because I’m kind of envious because they’re in love and I’m not.”

Elsewhere, Eleven is alive but trapped in the Upside Down.

A teaser clip has revealed that she managed to break through to Hawkins Middle School using her telekinetic powers, but what happens next is a mystery.

“He’s struggling with the compromise that takes him to, having to lie and cover things up.”

A slate of new characters join the cast, including Goonies star as Bob, a new love interest for Joyce.
