The second season of Stranger Things comes to Netflix this Friday, which is one of the most anticipated events on the streaming service of the year. For those of you who head to Netflix's website to hover over the Stranger Things title in anticipation of the new season, you might have noticed there's an Easter egg that will turn the whole Netflix experience upside-down.

If you head over to the show's page from your computer, you'll see the image above. If you look to the right of Will, you'll notice a strange red orb that pulsates. Clicking on the orb will enter you into an "Upside Down" version of Netflix, which rotates the entire screen.

Mimicking the Upside Down realm from the series, the entire interface becomes dark and covered in otherworldly roots, as your cursor transforms into a flashlight that intermittently blinks. Looking in the right area of the Upside Down Netflix will also reveal some clues about the upcoming season.

In the show's first season, Will (Noah Schnapp) disappears while biking home from a friend's house, causing an uproar in the small town of Hawkins, IN. Making matters more unusual was the discovery of his "body," which the local sheriff discovered was actually a dummy. Instead, Will has become a captive in another realm, which is only one of many mysterious aspects about the series.

Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler in the series, spoke with earlier this year PEOPLE about what to expect in the new season.

"I think this season will be a lot more dark. A lot more horror-oriented. I think people are going to like it more than the first season," Wolfhard explained.

He added, "There are going to be some challenges that the characters face that are real, that are disturbing."

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin on the series, also shed some insight on what fans can expect.

"The great thing about this season is you get to see insights into each character on their own. You're going to see a lot more into the lives of how the characters are coping with what's been going on," Matarazzo explained.

"I think they're all very emotionally scarred. They feel alone because their best friend [Will] is back and he's not acting like their best friend anymore. He's changed," the actor explained.

You can check out the second season of the series when it debuts Friday.
