Brown may be speaking out about what we won't be seeing in season 2 of the series — which drops on Netflix October 27 — but she's decidedly more quiet about what's in store for the third season, which was confirmed to Vulture by the Duffer brothers in a separate interview.
Created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, "Stranger Things" centers on four male friends who revel in playing the fantasy role-playing game "Dungeons and Dragons," and their encounters with a girl with telekinetic powers, an alternate dimension and the horrifying monsters that have seeped out of it.
In an exclusive preview at September's NYLON Guys cover story (out Friday) featuring stars Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Noah Schnapp, the Netflix hits' showrunners the Duffer brothers reveal Emmy-nominated star Millie Bobby Brown is "relieved" another girl is joining the goon squad in season 2.
With the concept of what's TV and what's film utterly upside-down and Stranger Things' second season just a month away, Matt and Ross Duffer are making it painfully clear that they're equating their creation to a movie sequel — and want us to call it Stranger Things 23.
If you thought that Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer were pretty ruthless with axing beloved characters like Barb (Shannon Purser), you have no idea the darkness that could have been unleashed on the Netflix show's most iconic character...and what darkness could still be ahead for her.
"—The Hollywood Reporter Duffer Brothers Respond to Verbal Abuse AllegationThe creators of Stranger Things apologized for letting "tempers occasionally get frayed" on set but stopped short of a complete mea culpa after former crew member Peyton Brown said she had seen them "seek out and verbally abuse multiple women.
Bryan: The fact that we were all sitting around waiting for Bob to be revealed as some bad guy (my money was on him being a Russian spy, given how many characters kept banging that particular drum) is probably a sign that he worked exactly as the Duffer brothers intended.
In an interview with CinemaBlend, Ross Duffer revealed that Eleven was originally supposed to stay dead when she sacrificed herself at the end of Season 1: Maybe I shouldn't say this because I like to pretend that it was all planned out, but it was originally pitched as a limited series.
Matt and Ross Duffer tap their nostalgia for the 1980s — a decade when less could often be more, where thrillers were concerned — in their tale about Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), who is headed home on his bicycle in the dark after a game of Dungeons & Dragons when he encounters something sinister.
"Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 89%What critics said: "The season makes crystal clear that the Duffer Brothers and Levy aren't keen on stubbornly sticking with story points or characters that don't work, and also know precisely how to capitalize on the aspects of the show that are working.
With these selections sandwiched in between the aforementioned straight-up New Age cuts and slices of soft-sax fromage from folks like Kenny G and Candy Duffer, Pure Moods less resembles a transportative trip through a world of sound and more someone impatiently changing the channel on TV every few minutes.
" During today's TCA presentation, Netflix's vice president of original content Cindy Holland noted that the the show's creators, Matt and Ross Duffer and Shawn Levy, were aware of the expectations for the next season of the supernatural show and said that "they want to deliver something bigger and better than what they did last year.
In the midst of a four-month Eastern European shoot playing the title role in the upcoming R-rated Hellboy reboot, Harbour hopped (sorry) on the phone to talk about what's evolved with Stranger Things, his working relationship with the Duffer Brothers, and how Chief Hopper would get along with Special Agent Dale Cooper.
If the Duffer brothers had that original idea in mind while writing "Maple Street," which is only the second installment of the entire series, it would explain why the "parents" line was absent-mindedly left in there — at one point in the lengthy Stranger Things production process, Dustin really did have a living mom and dad.
While the series prides itself for its referential moments—and the mall scene is undoubtedly that, and definitely cute—it's telling of the Duffer Brothers' idea of feminism that the only way they chose to give their main character, a literal superpowered girl, her autonomy and empowerment was by having her go shopping and then dump her boyfriend.
So it fits, given that the Duffer Brothers quite famously have a thing for the 1980s, that Steve, played by Joe Keery, also begins to redeem himself toward the end of season one: apologizing to his love rival Jonathan and helping his girlfriend Nancy fight the Upside Down final boss with thousands of teeth for a head.
" "We wanted a simple drive [for the first season] and a somewhat simple mystery with bizarre pops of supernatural horror," elaborated his brother, co-creator Matt Duffer, "and then add a larger mythology behind this rift that we only know and refer to as the Upside Down, because that's what the boys decide to call it.
The Internet has been chock-full of theories and questions about where the Duffer Brothers' story might be heading, and the launch of a new teaser trailer — which dropped on the official Stranger Things Twitter account on Wednesday morning and features what we can assume are the nine Season 2 episode titles — has kicked the discussion into overdrive.
Constance Grady: I absolutely give the Duffer brothers credit for trying to learn from the critique of how they handled female characters last season, but they seem to have failed to grasp the essential problem: namely, they have created a world in which there only seems to be room for one fully rendered female character per generation.
The show, according to THR, will be produced by Embassy Row (Talking Dead), and will feature appearances by Stranger Things masterminds Ross and Matt Duffer, executive producer Shawn Levy, Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington).
In the great tradition of Twin Peaks, Stranger Things uses a central trauma—the disappearance of 12-year-old Will Byers—to get to the heart of a parochial suburb (a fictional township in Indiana that, by no mistake on the part of director/writers, the Duffer Brothers, is a dead ringer for Jean Shepard's paradisiacal hometown in A Christmas Story).
The Netflix series, which is in its fourth season (although the creators, brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, maintain that each installment isn't really a "season" in the traditional TV sense, but rather more like a movie broken up across multiple episodes), is being renewed alongside an overall film and TV deal with a nine-figure value for the Duffers at Netflix.
The show's social media accounts also teased the apparent mystery of the tag line: the curiosity door is wiiiiiide open But it might also be a sign that the Duffer brothers are planning to surprise us by shifting away from our Stranger Things comfort zones and taking us somewhere new — if not for season four, perhaps for their many new projects.
On the cable side, HBO's Westworld and AMC's Better Call Saul were also up for the award, as was NBC's family drama This Is Us.

As part of the electronic quartet S U R V I V E, they've been dropping releases since 2008 — it's worth digging through their Bandcamp vault if you want to unearth a batch of '80s-sounding synth gems — but it's Dixon and Stein's work for the Duffer Brothers that looks set to thrust the band center stage, especially with a new album slated for a September release.
But in the 1990s, in an inspirational nod to the everyday golfer, the august United States Golf Association decided to bring its featured event, the United States Open, to that bastion of the weekend duffer: the muni, a term for a public course owned by a town, county or state where the golfers change their shoes in the parking lot and the door is open to all.
Perhaps this scene was the Duffer Brothers' (who created the series and wrote the episode) way of nodding to those teen girl flicks of the 80s, or perhaps it was an attempt at cleaning up after creating a series that, while entertaining, gives us as much thoughtful, progressive, and incisive depiction of female empowerment as the Fearless Girl statue; scratch the surface a bit and you'll find it's actually corporate faux-feminist bullshit.
But the company apparently recently changed that lineup, and a new tweet introduced the current titles for the first six episodes: The tweet says the last three episode titles are unknown, but here's what was originally listed: We also know who'll be directing them: while the Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy are returning to helm most of the season's episodes, the show has attracted some big names, such as Pixar director Andrew Stanton, who will direct two episodes.
" (Baskin-Robbins is also making t-shirts and "collectible" ice cream quarts inspired by Steve Harrington's fictional employer, Scoops Ahoy.) Baskin-Robbins has also done product integrations with Seinfeld, The Steve Allen Show, Captain America, and The Amazing Spiderman, but calls this "the largest and most integrated partnership" the company has ever done, adding "There is a very natural synergy between Baskin-Robbins and Stranger Things as it almost feels like the Duffer Brothers patterned season three's Scoops Ahoy shop after Baskin-Robbins locations from the era.
