When Season 2 was announced last year, Netflix also revealed the episode titles for the new season - with an extra episode ordered for this year. They were, as follows:

Madmax; The Boy Who Came Back To Life; The Pumpkin Patch; The Palace; The Storm; The Pollywog; The Secret Cabin; The Brain; The Lost Brother.

Obviously people immediately started reading (too much) into those for potential clues, and it seems some were actually found, as Matt Duffer revealed: "Some of them are changing. Some of them we didn’t put because these people are smart on the f**king internet. You’ve seen it with Westworld - they figured it out! I’ve seen videos analysing the chapter titles and they’re right on a lot.”

We also know who'll be directing those episodes, with the crew expanding beyond the Duffers and Shawn Levy. Rebecca Thomas (Electrick Children) will direct the 7th episode, while Pixar's Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Finding Dory) will handle episodes 5 & 6. The Duffers themselves will helm the first two and the last two episodes, with Levy taking episodes 3 & 4.
