“Should we make another season of Stranger Things?” the subscription-only streaming giant teased with an interactive poll on Twitter before adding: “season 3 is officially happening!”
According to Nielsen, around 15.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the first episode of the show’s second season within the first three days of its October 27 launch.
No specific information was given about when the new season would premiere, or which members of the cast would be returning.
“Stranger Things” tells the story of a group of young friends living in a small town in Indiana in the 1980s and the odd happenings that threaten them all.
It premiered in July 2016 and won five primetime Emmy Awards in 2017. It had earned a whopping 18 nominations, including one for 13-year-old breakout star Millie Bobby Brown.
