It’s the fall of 1984, about a year after Will Byers was found, and he has been plagued by seeing visions of the Upside Down featuring a more dangerous monster. That leads the boy to see a suspiciously friendly new doctor, with the possibility that Will’s visions are the result of suffering from PTSD. Nancy deals with survivor’s remorse over the death of best friend Barb. Meanwhile, a new sinister entity threatens the Hawkins residents who survived the year-earlier events. New to the town is tomboy Max, who befriends the boys and attracts the romantic interests of Dustin and Lucas.

Stranger Things was created, written, directed and co-executive produced by The Duffer Brothers. The previous seasons has been executive produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. The Duffer Brothers are the creators of the TV series and are said to have created Stranger Things as a show where an investigative drama met with the supernatural.
