‘Stranger Things 2’ wraps up filming

If you’re like us, you’re keeping an eye out for Netflix’s sleeper hit Stranger Things. Now, we learn that shooting for the second season has wrapped up. The cast and crew of the show have been pretty mum about what we can expect from season 2 but we know it’ll explore more of Eleven’s backstory (played by Millie Bobby Brown) and it’s supposedly more horror-oriented than the first season. While we get to see our favorites from season 1, some of the new faces will include Sadie Sink as Max, Dacre Montgomery as her brother Billy, Sean Astin as Joyce’s new boyfriend Bob, Linnea Berthelsen as the mysterious Roman, and Paul Reiser as a member of the Department of Energy. We’re going to have to wait a bit more, though. The show is going to premiere on Netflix on Halloween, October 31^st.

‘Stranger Things 2’ to delve deeper into the horror genre

If I was being honest, the first season of Stranger Things scared the heck out of me. But it seems the Netflix show is just touching the surface there. It seems things are about to get a lot darker for season 2. At least according to Finn Wolfhard a.k.a. Mike. He told Emmy Magazine that the new season will be “a lot more horror oriented.” How apt since the show is dropping on Halloween this year.

In the second season, we can also expect to see more insight into all of the characters, instead of putting most of the focus on Mike and Will and their families. We’ll get to learn more about Dustin and Lucas this time around. As Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin) says, “The great thing about this season is you get to see insights into each character on their own. You’re going to see a lot more into the lives of how the characters are coping with what’s been going on… They’re all very emotionally scarred. They feel alone because their best friend is back and he’s not acting like their best friend anymore. He’s changed.” How intriguing. I’m definitely excited for season 2.

As the release approaches (well, if you count Halloween weekend as a close enough release date), Netflix is slowly releasing bits and pieces about the new season of Stranger Things. These aren’t spoilers though, as we know they’re being extra protective about leaks this time. But we do see most of our favorite characters (no sign of Eleven yet, though).

‘Stranger Things’ crew gets tips from ‘Game of Thrones’ creators on how to protect against leaks

Stranger Things became such a surprise success that its crew needed tips from another extremely popular show on how to go about things moving forward. According to an interview by Entertainment Weekly with Stranger Things creators, they had to approach the producers of Game of Thrones on what to do when it comes to security protocols. “We literally consulted with the producers on Game of Thrones to learn security protocols,” say executive producer Shawn Levy. “I just knew I used to throw my sides away and now they have to be burnt,” says co-creator Ross Duffer of his daily shooting notes. The cast and the show itself now even gets code names. According to Millie Bobby Brown a.k.a. Eleven, “It’s this weird thing. On the call sheets our names are across it and if we lose it, we’re dead.”

Now, they’re hyperaware of the measures they need to take to make sure no spoilers get out. “We had no security protocols last season and we have extensive security protocols this season, Levy says. “I can’t speak about what they are because then people could crack them. We protect every story point, every page of every script.”
