Stranger Things Season 2 Might Have Extended Episodes

 

Stranger Things debuted last month to overwhelmingly positive reviews, as avid viewers fell in love with both the core cast of characters and the show’s knack for nostalgia. Indeed, Netflix’s old-school original series evoked memories of everything from Stand By Me to The Goonies to Poltergeist, as members of a small town came together to ward off a dangerous being from another dimension. That dimension was, of course, the Upside Down, a mystical realm that runs parallel to our own. It’s a relentlessly dark and scary doppelgänger, though, one that plays home to a flesh-munching Demogorgon.

Reflecting on the success of Stranger Things, creators Matt and Ross Duffer have spoke about their desire to prod further and further into the Upside Down in a future season, and while Netflix is yet to officially renew the hit series, the Duffer brothers spoke to Collider about the possibility of returning with a new, extended season.

Assuming that Stranger Things nabs a deserved second season, the Duffer siblings noted that fans can expect to check in on the core group in a fashion not dissimilar to Harry Potter in that we watch these kids grow up before our eyes, year by year. Stranger Things premiered back in mid-July.
