10 Most Hotly Anticipated Returning TV Shows Of 2017

3. Stranger Things Season 2

Stranger Things

Stranger Things is the breakout TV show of 2016. While other new series have arguably been better (Westworld, Atlanta), no show caught imagination and garnered hype the way Netflix's nostalgia-trip did this summer.

It was a wonderful 80s throwback, with strong homages to Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, but also managed to be much more besides. It was an incredibly captivating mystery, and a tale of friendship among some wonderful child performers.

Given the way the first season ended, not to mention it's quality, excitement for Season 2 is already building. We'll learn more of what happened to Eleven, the Upside Down, and - with a time jump of a couple of years - hopefully get another satisfying mystery to sink our teeth into.

Return Date: TBA (likely summer)
