This weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, Netflix released the trailer for the second season of Stranger Things. After shrieking in delight at the mere thought of more episodes (the season drops on October 27), we sat down to watch and re-watch the clip numerous times. Following our analysis, here are the things that got us most excited:
1. More Will screen time
It appears as if the season will concentrate on the effect that the Upside Down has had on Will (Noah Schnapp), whom we didn't see too much of during the first season. Hurrah!
2. We're back in the '80s
Calling out a quintessential '80s track, the preview is adeptly set to Michael Jackson's "Thriller." As if that weren't nostalgic enough, the video opens up to the clan of characters playing Dragon's Lair.
3. New monsters
We get to glimpse at the huge spider that we assume will be the season's bad guy—does this mean no more Demogorgon?
4. Winona Ryder!
This was, arguably, Ryder's best role in over a decade. Just seeing her in the trailer excites us.
5. Nancy and Jonathan are still hanging out
Although we were treated to a Steve (Joe Keery) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer) montage during the season finale, we still wish for Nancy and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) to get together. The clips gives us hope.
6. Eleven!
She's back! Last time we saw her, Eleven was shipped to the Upside Down while trying to save her friends. Will she escape? We'll be patiently watching while eating some waffles.
