Stranger Things 2
from The Smokey Shelter Hosted by The Smokey Shelter
Stranger Things 2 opens in the final week of October, in the days leading up to the one-year anniversary of Will Byers’s weeks-long disappearance in season one. Outside the world of the show, the main reason the timeline is jumping forward is that the production has to keep up with its young ensemble cast, who are all growing up fast. Inside the world of the show, however, the approaching anniversary means that a number of characters — most notably Will and his friend Mike’s older sister Nancy — are experiencing a resurgence of emotions and trauma tied to the events of the previous year. Those emotions are what jump-start two of the main plots that drive season two. Stranger Things 2 is less like a typical second season and more like a separate series that focuses on the same characters some time later. TheSmokeyShelter.com
