It certainly took a long time but "Stranger Things" Season 2 has officially been confirmed and has already started production. But will the highly anticipated series return to Netflix a little later than its expected summer premiere?
Fans are already looking forward to the possibility that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will air on Netflix by July 2017. However, it looks like the series might take a little longer to produce and will be set for premiere next fall.
'Stranger Things' Season 2 Air Date Finally Confirmed For Fall 2017?
It's easy to understand why people are hoping that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will premiere much sooner. After all, everyone is eager to find out what will happen next in Hawkins and how the show will explain Eleven's return.
However, producer/director Shawn Levy offers a convincing explanation why the series won't be back until after summer next year. Shawn Levy recently told Collider that he and the Duffer brothers are "not magicians" and it is not possible for "Stranger Things" Season 2 to premiere before summer because he also revealed that production has just began "today."
So did Levy just confirm that "Stranger Things" Season 2 will air on Netflix in Fall 2017? In addition to that, are the producers already planning a longer "Stranger Things" Season 3?
