Thanks to the above Stranger Things 2 trailer shown as an ad during Super Bowl 2017, we now know that the Stranger Things 2 release date is Halloween 2017. It didn’t mean 31 October, though.
Netflix has confirmed that Stranger Things Season 2 will air on 27 October.
We also know that there will be nine episodes in Stranger Things 2 and you can see the full episode list below.
Stranger Things is a Netflix exclusive, which means you’ ll either need to subscribe to Netflix or find a friend who already has done. Alternatively, if you’ re prepared to watch the first series quickly enough you can simply sign up for a month’s free trial at Netflix.com .
(Do bear in mind, of course, that if you like Stranger Things you won’ t be able to get a second free trial when it returns to Netflix next year.)
If you do decide to subscribe, one of the great things about Netflix is you can cancel at any time. Netflix charges a monthly subscription, the cheapest of which is £5.99. You can pay extra to enable Netflix streaming on more than one device at a time (you can watch on your laptop, PC, TV, tablet or phone) and to unlock HD and Ultra-HD content.
