Stranger Things Season 2 Trailer

The surprise first trailer for Stranger Things season two dropped at this year's Super Bowl.

Netflix's smash hit series was confirmed to return shortly after its first run of episodes debuted on the streaming service last August.

Excitingly, a release date has also been revealed with the return of Mike, Dustin and co set for Halloween.

Stranger Things - Season Two teaser

Upon the second season announcement, all nine episode titles were revealed. The first episode's title 'Madmax' no doubt refers to new character Max played by Sadie Sink whose been joined to the main cast alongside Dacre Montgomery (star of the upcoming big-screen version of Power Rangers).

The trailer shows that creators Matt and Ross Duffer are maintaining the nostalgia with the lead child characters dressed in Ghostbusters outfits.

Child actors Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin will all reprise their roles alongside Winona Ryder, David Harbour and Charlie Heaton. Millie Bobby Brown will also be returning as the mysterious Eleven.

The cast won Best Ensemble in a Drama Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last weekend with Harbour - who plays Jim Hopper - delivering an impassioned speech concerned with the travel ban enacted by President Donald Trump.

New England Patriots earned a historic comeback to beat Atlanta Falcons at this year's Super Bowl. Other trailers glimpsed during the sporting event included Transformers: The Last Knight and eighth Fast & Furious film, The Fate of the Furious.
