Stranger Things Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

2. Eleven Is Back

If Season 1 left things in any doubt, the first teaser for Season 2 cleared it up: Eleven is coming back.

Despite seemingly being transported out of this world after defeating the Demogorgon, we got our first clue El would be back when we saw Hopper leaving out food, including Eggos. Of this, David Harbour previously said: "He may understand that Eleven exists in some form. And so he’s got this box out in the woods where he gives her food.”

The trailer, meanwhile, strongly suggests she's in the Upside Down. Anything else surrounding the character is largely being kept under wraps for now, with her return set to be a major part of Season 2 (both as a moment and in terms of the actual plot). Matt Duffer said: "We do get into her story and backstory. We learn about where she came from and how she came into the world and the program that resulted in her.”

One thing we do know is that she'll be sporting a new hairstyle, a change from her instantly-iconic shaven head look in the first season, as revealed by EW.
