Season 2 takes the action forward roughly a year, to Halloween 2018. All the Season 1 cast is back, joined by new additions including Paul Reiser, Sean Astin, Will Chase and Brett Gelman. As well as the teaser, Netflix also revealed a gorgeous new poster (which you can see in full below), and an official synopsis:

"It’s 1984 and the citizens of Hawkins, Indiana are still reeling from the horrors of the demagorgon and the secrets of Hawkins Lab. Will Byers has been rescued from the Upside Down but a bigger, sinister entity still threatens those who survived."
