Better make some extra Eggo waffles — Netflix is about have Stranger Things fans attached to their couch cushions for even longer.

As we eagerly anticipate the Stranger Things 2 release on Oct. 27, Netflix announced that it's also launching an after-show called Beyond Stranger Things.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the seven-episode after-show series will be available the same day as Season 2, but be warned: spoilers lie ahead.

The show will reportedly be hosted by comedian, actor, and Stranger Things super-fan Jim Rash and will feature show creators, directors, and cast members who will dive deep into show analysis to answer your most pressing questions.

To avoid spoilers Netflix plans to automatically play Beyond Stranger Things after the final episode of the show's second season, but a 47 second teaser is here to give you a taste of what's to come, starting off with some sweet graphics.

In this particular episode cast favorites like Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard joined creators Ross Duffer, Matt Duffer, and executive producer and director Shawn Levy in what looked like a cozy table gathering with the potential for deep conversation and perhaps a game or two?

Seems far more pleasant than the Upside Down, at least.
