More '80s than a John Hughes movie marathon, Netflix's Stranger Things was the surprise TV sensation of 2016. Seriously, post-July, people just wouldn't shut up about it.

Eleven, the Upside Down, the Demogorgon, Steve Harrington's hair... All became iconic overnight.

Six weeks after the first eight episodes dropped, Netflix confirmed a second season (though it later transpired that they'd been lying to us, the swines, and had already ordered more before the show had even launched).

Here's everything we know about the much-anticipated sequel to the Duffer Brothers' loving tribute to Spielberg, Carpenter and King.

Stranger Things season 2 air date: When can I watch?

Netflix has confirmed that we'll be returning to Hawkins for more freaky goings-on this Halloween. Originally billed for an October 31, 2017 premiere, we're now getting Stranger Things season 2 a few days earlier – so Friday, October 27 2017.

Filming on the new episodes finished up in late May, with Noah Schapp (Will), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) and more posting wrap messages to social media.
