Kids say the darndest things. That is unless they happen to work Stranger Things. Those kids say nothing about the show, not even to their families.
The young actors who make up the core cast of Netflix's science fiction-horror series have been sworn to secrecy and aren't even allowed to talk to their families about the show's upcoming second season. It's all part of the increased security that comes with the show's success.
"My brother always asks me, 'Gate, can you send me the script?' " 14-year-old Gaten Matazarro, who plays Dustin Henderson, tells People Magazine. "I'm like, 'It's a new season, and it's a lot stricter than last year 'cause he read them last year, but this year he's not able to 'cause we don't want any, like, hacking interference."
That the young stars of Stranger Things can only talk to each other about the special experience of filming the show, they've become close. Millie Bobby Brown, the 13-year-old who plays the psychically-powered tween Eleven, describes herself as "a real girl's girl in pink and pearls and rings and necklaces," but has taken up whiffle ball as a means of bonding with the boys who play Eleven's friends.
She's grown particularly close to Noah Schnapp, the 12-year-old who plays Will Byers, the boy whose disappearance was the inciting incident of Stranger Things' first season. "Noah comes around almost every weekend for sleepovers," she says. "We watch really scary movies on Netflix like The Babadook and Hush."
In Stranger Things, when a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one strange little girl.
The second season of Stranger Things takes place nearly a years after the first, on and around Halloween of 1984. The season sees everyone in the town of Hawkins, Indiana trying their best to return to normal, but Will Byers is still plagued by a kind of PTSD after his harrowing experience in the Upside Down.
Stranger Things was created by the Duffer Brothers. Stranger Things is written and directed by Matt and Ross Duffer and executive-produced by Shawn Levy.
Stranger Things stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp and Joe Keery.
Strange Things Season 2 adds Sadie Sink, Dacre Montgomery, Sean Astin, Paul Reisser, Linnea Berthelsen, and Brett Gelman to the cast.
Stranger Things Season 2 premieres on Halloween, Oct. 31, 2017, on Netflix.
