LOS ANGELES -- They're back. Well, for the most part.

On Friday, Netflix gave Stranger Things fans a peek at Season 2 with a cryptic tweet.

The upside-down photo is of a table read featuring members of the cast, including newcomers Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery, as well as Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) and the rest of the squad.

The text reads: "back in production see you next year #strangerthings."

Missing from the photo are the show's adults, including Winona Ryder (Joyce) and David Harbour (Jim Hopper).

Bobbie Brown hinted at New York Comic Con last month that Eleven was probably coming back.

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.

It became one of the biggest shows to binge watch this summer, and the Stranger Things ensemble --especially the kids-- quickly sparked a cult following.

Season 2 is scheduled for a 2017 launch.
