Netflix Teases ‘Stranger Things’ Fans With New Image, Season Two Date

It’s already been a big week for Stranger Things fans, with Winona Ryder giving us an entire year’s worth of quality reaction gifs during her brief but beautiful time on stage the SAG awards.
We would have been happy with just that, but overnight, Netflix confirmed that the first teaser for season two of the wildly popular show will air during the Super Bowl on Sunday, US time. 
   
The network revealed an image from the teaser to Entertainment Weekly, revealing that the second season will take place in 1984, and that “the Demigorgon was destroyed, but evil wasn’t.” 

1984 was the year that the original Ghostbusters came out, along with The TerminatorGremlins, Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, A Nightmare On Elm Street and Beverly Hills Cop.

In short, it was a really, really good year for Hollywood blockbusters, and the image shows Gaten Matarazzo‘s Dustin and the gang wearing their proton packs to school like the nerds they are. 
The official Stranger Things Twitter account also released a cryptic image overnight, showing weather reports for Houston, where this year’s Super Bowl is to be held.  


Fans on Twitter started playing around with the numbers and noticed that if you subtract 58 from 67, 42 from 50 and 13 from 30, you’re left with 9 / 8 / 17. By American conventions, that date would be September 8, 2017.
That leaves two number 11s, although that one may have something to do with Millie Bobbie Brown‘s Eleven, a main character of the show in season one. 
We’ll find out more when the Super Bowl commercial airs, I guess …
