During Super Bowl 51, Netflix dropped the first trailer for Stranger Things season 2. Although it was only a 30-second commercial, it gave fans their first glimpse at Eleven, Will, Chief Hopper, and the whole gang since the first season was released last summer.

Despite the fact that Stranger Things won’t be premiering until Halloween, the hype machine has already begun, with Entertainment Weekly providing the first in-depth look at the second season of the smash ’80s-set sci-fi hit.
Via EW:
Stranger Things season 2 begins nearly a year after the first installment, on Halloween in Hawkins, Indiana. (The boys are going as the Ghostbusters, naturally.) Will has rejoined his pals after being rescued from Things’ alternate dimension, the Upside Down. But all is not well with young Mr. Byers, as evidenced by the slug he coughed up in season 1’s final moments. “He seems to be seeing images from the Upside Down—the question is whether they’re real or not,” says co-creator Matt Duffer. “So it seems like he’s having some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.”
His ultra-fraught mother, Joyce (Winona Ryder), is attempting to make things stable for Will and his brother, Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and she is dating an old high school classmate, Bob (The Goonies’ Sean Astin). “She’s trying to mask a lot,” explains Ryder. “I think she’s made this choice with Bob because she wants a good father figure in her sons’ lives.”
Meanwhile, Hopper (David Harbour) is attempting to keep all the events of last season, like the disappearance of Barb, a secret in order to protect Joyce and the kids.
