There is good news for the fans of Netflix's sci-fi thriller series, "Stranger Things." Just days before the season premiere, a new poster was released to give an inkling on how the second season will fare.
The poster was released on Sunday, Oct. 22, and featured a prominent Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) looking fierce and powerful with her hands stretched forward. This, alongside trailers, just proved that Eleven will be back to help fight monsters. The poster might be teasing to the nearing Halloween, as pumpkins were seen in the foreground and a scarecrow at the far left.
The art, designed by Kyle Lambert, who also designs for Marvel and Disney, hinted of a new monster, which seemingly chased the characters. It also showed Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) in "Ghostbusters"-inspired costumes while riding their bicycles. Will (Noah Schnapp), meanwhile, looked dumbfounded, possibly hinting that the boy who got trapped in the Upside Down had not been the same since then.
Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder), Chief Hopper (David Harbour), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Steve (Joe Keery) are also returning for the second run of "Stranger Things." There were also some new faces in the poster. Billy, who will be played by Dacre Montgomery, and Max (Sadie Sink) will join the roster of characters.
As casts of the first season return, one thing is for sure. Barb (Shannon Purser) will not be going back. Fans had expressed disappointment over the fact that Barb's death was not elaborated. Although the appearance of the character was short, fans were surprisingly invested in the character, asking for some details about the deceased best friend of Nancy. This was probably because the character had become so relatable in real life.
The "Stranger Things" season 2 will premiere on Oct. 27, Friday, on Netflix.
