'Stranger Things' Season 2 headed to Netflix in fall
The world is turning upside down on Halloween.
Season two of Stranger Things will make its debut on Netflix on the spooky holiday.
The release date was announced in a Super Bowl spot for the show, which built a cult following after its summer 2016 debut.
The show, created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, takes place in a small town in Indiana in 1983, just after a 12-year-old boy named Will goes missing. His friends and mom Joyce (played by Winona Ryder), spend much of the eight-episode series trying to find him. In the process, they encounter top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl named Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown).
The Super Bowl ad featured footage from a classic Eggo commercial that debuted in 1979 and aired in the '80s.

According to a description from Netflix, Season 2 is set a year after Will's return.
"A year after Will’s return, everything seems back to normal," Netflix said in a release. "But a darkness lurks just beneath the surface, threatening all of Hawkins."
