Netflix just dropped a trailer for the second season of Stranger Things

Netflix confirmed Wednesday that there will be a second season of Stranger Things via this short, spooky trailer:

The second season, set to premiere next year, picks up in the fall of 1984, about a year after the first season ends. Details are scarce, but back in July, the creators of the Netflix original series, Matt and Ross Duffer, spoke to Variety about what they envisioned for a second season. "We leave these dangling threads at the end," Ross Duffer said. "If people respond to this show and we get to continue this story — we had those initial discussions of where we might go with it. If there was going to be a season two, we would reveal more of [the parallel dimension the "Upside Down"], but we'd still want to keep it from the point of view of our original characters."

There will be nine episodes to the show's sophomore offering, up from the eight of its inaugural season. It will debut sometime in 2017.
