Action: Winona Ryder, David Harbour and Finn Wolfhard return to the series written by The Duffer Brothers
The series, which sees a return to the fictional town of Hawkins in Indiana, is expected to jump forwards in time to accommodate the child ensembles’ greater age.
New additions to the cast include British actor Cary Elwes, who portrays the town’s mayor, Jake Busey as a local reporter and Maya Hawke as a shopping mall employee.
Trailers have hinted that the action will center around a travelling fairground as well as the Upside Down, the alternate dimension where much of Stranger Things is set.
Creators the Duffer Brothers have denied that the character of the new mayor was influenced in any way by Donald Trump.
They said the character ‘happens to be blond and full of himself and likes the sound of his own voice’.
