Stranger Things season 2: Netflix chief talks about further seasons of perhaps the most popular new TV show of the year.
More on the Stranger Things season 2 below.
The popularity of Stranger Things, which came to Netflix earlier this month, has been huge and already fans are screaming for a Stranger Things season 2, which isn’t surprising. Well, Netflix head honcho Ted Sarandos has been speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour where he was asked if further seasons are a possibility.
Here’s what he had to say to The Live Feed:
“We always want to take some time to be thoughtful about the process. When we first come out of the gate with something, we have an idea where it’s going to go but it’s sensible for us to let the show breathe. People are falling in love with it, let’s focus on season one.”
Stranger Things stars on one innocent night where a group of friends are harmlessly playing Dungeons & Dragons. Things take a tragic turn for them in Hawkins Indiana when Will Byers disappears… seemingly into thin air. The year is 1983 and this small town is abuzz with conspiracy theories behind the missing boy’s circumstances. As friends, family and local police search for answers behind his disappearance they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and the discovery of one very strange little girl. Her appearance and powers appear super human and the boys begin to understand that she might have a sinister connection to their missing friend.
The show has gone down exceptionally well, and is truly one of the best debut TV shows of the year so far.
Stranger Things season 2 may happen in the future
Co-creator Matt Duffer had more to add about Stranger Things series 2 potentials:
“We wanted it to feel like a big movie, so we wanted to resolve that main tension of where Will went and what happened to him, but there’s a bigger mythology behind what happened, and there’s a lot of dangling trends at the end. So it’s open-ended in a way that if people wanted it and if Netflix wanted it, we could explore it and continue this storyline.”
His brother Ross, who also co-created the hit show, had the following to add about the change in tone for further seasons.
“Will was living in this upside down dimension for about a week, and the repercussions of that can’t be good. So a lot of it is exploring that, and this interdimensional rift is still very much open – so that also can’t be good. We want to retain the tone, but all of our sequels feel a little different. It’s not about just taking another monster – it’s a bigger, badder monster. We want it to feel a little bit different, a little bit darker.”
Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder (Joyce Beyers), Matthew Modine (Dr. Brenner), David Harbour (Chief Hopper), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Beyers), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Millie Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), and Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler).
