Halloween this year falls on a Tuesday, which means most of the cool Halloween parties will be going down the weekend prior. Except that’s what we thought until today, when we learned all Friday night Halloween parties have been cancelled unless they become viewing parties for the second season of Stranger Things.
That’s because Netflix has announced that the highly anticipated and appropriately-named Stranger Things 2 will premiere October 27.
All nine episodes will hit the streaming service at once, according to Variety, meaning every town across the country will be a new kind of ghost town as we all binge the everloving shit out of something that has a lot to live up to. Kind of like Halloween itself.
So what’s on tap for Eleven and the boys this time around?
“It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the demagorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab,” states the show description. “Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived.”
Check out the accompanying video, and what we assume is a key piece of artwork via the show’s promo poster, depicting our pre-teen heroes staring off into some relevant evil.
Season one stars Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, David Harbour, Gaten Matarazzo, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp and others will return for the second season, and newcomers include Dacre Montgomery, Sean Astin, and Paul Reiser.
