New STRANGER THINGS Season 2 Details on Sean Astin's Character and the Timeline
Stranger Things season two is currently shooting and while fans wait to see what's in store, we've seen little bits of information revealed, and we have some new details to share with you today.
During an interview with HollywoodLife, David Harbour (Jim Hopper) dropped a few hints about the series during the Fan2Sea Comic-Con cruise. During the conversation, he revealed the timeline, saying that it takes place a year after the events of the first season.
“It’s a year later in the story, so there are several things that happened last year, like Will has come back. There are certain people in the town that know what happened, and then certain people that don’t know what happened. So there’s a lot of fall out with who knows what.”
It sounds like things are going to be getting very interesting in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. We know one of the main things that the town will be reeling over is the disappearance of Barb, and there will be justice for her. He also confirmed Sean Astin's role in the series as Joyce Byers' (Winona Ryder) new boyfriend.
“We have Sean Astin… he’s Winona’s new boyfriend… much to the chagrin to the Chief of Police.”
So that's going to cause some interesting tension between these characters. I wonder if that tension will build into some kind of fight between Harbour and Astin. That's probably going to be the least of everyone's worries when the shit hits the fan again, and we know it's going to hit the fan, otherwise there wouldn't even be a second season!
