We're counting down the days.

t’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down. If like us you just can't wait for the next installment you can have a sneak peek at what to expect with these first look photos.

It's also still very up in the air on how Hopper and the Alaska gang will make it home safely after their first escape plot failed.

Of course the big question for most Stranger Things fans is, what did Max write in those letters? [caption id="attachment_413376" align="aligncenter" width="1920"] STRANGER THINGS.
