“Stranger Things” EP Shawn Levy shares details on season 2

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Stranger Things" producer/director Shawn Levy reveals filming on season 2 already began on Monday, November 7. While there are months before we'll get to see it on Netflix, Levy has shared some details of the new season, AceShowbiz reveals.

Speaking to Collider, Levy who will return to direct a few episodes of season 2 shares, "I am going to start prepping right around Thanksgiving and I'll be filming my episodes through December and January." Production is once again taking place in Atlanta.

It was previously reported that the second season would pick up nearly a year after the events in the first season finale. Levy refuses to say when exactly the second season takes place, but promises that there will be several new characters who "are going to be new fan-favorites because they're great, great new characters."

He adds, "But we are definitely sticking primarily with our core group, and what is different, how are they changed from the experience of last season... maybe 'normal' is never possible again." Normalcy will still be the theme of the second season, but it's taken to another level.

"Will Byers was in that Upside Down for a while. So season 2 is about this determined desire to return to normalcy in Hawkins, in the Byers family, in that group of friends, and it's the struggle to reclaim normalcy and maybe the impossibility of it," Levy dishes.

Levy also says that he and the Duffer Brothers have already mapped idea for season 3. "We are not gonna be caught off guard and we don't wanna be making stuff up like the day before we have to write it and make it," he explains, "so we are definitely optimistic and we have started thinking ahead."

Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Cara Buono, Charlie Heaton and Matthew Modine are confirmed to return for the next instalment. Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Linnea Berthelsen, Dacre Montgomery and Sadie Sink are added to the cast as new characters.

The new season is expected to debut in 2017.
