'Stranger Things' Season 2 Rumors: Series' Plot to Involve Conspiracy Theories
With "Stranger Things" season 2 inching closer to its release date, rumors on how its story may pan out continue to swirl online. However, if the recent rumors are to be believed, the highly anticipated sophomore season of the original Netflix series may involve conspiracies in its plot.
There is no denying that "Stranger Things" season 2 is one of the most anticipated series this fall. While the Duffer brothers, creators of the series, have already revealed that the upcoming season of the original Netflix series would be scarier than its first season, it is now speculated that the story of "Stranger Things" season 2 will involve conspiracy theories.
Speculations on this possibly being the case stemmed from the recently released teaser for the series that features a voice over suggesting that conspiracy will be tied to the paranormal events in the fictional town of Hawkins in Indiana.

In the said teaser, a 1980s-era slide show features Will's (Noah Schnapp) disappearance in the previous season, his supposed death, and international headline-grabbing events in 1984, including the Russian boycott of the 1984 Olympics, New Coke, Reagan's Star Wars program, and sunspots.
While the voice-over suggests that the world was turning upside-down, it is now suspected that the paranormal occurrences in Hawkins may be interconnected to the said international events as there could be a conspiracy on an international level. With "Stranger Things" season 2 ushering comedian Brett Gelman into the series to play the role of Murray Bauman, a former journalist turned conspiracy theorist who happens to be in Hawkins as he investigates a cold case, it is now suspected that the series may, indeed, tackle conspiracy theories this season.
Whether the strange occurrences happening in Hawkins are a result of international conspiracies and are nothing supernatural, no one outside the production can say for now. What is certain, though, is that "Stranger Things" season 2 will be scarier and more sinister than its previous season as promised by the Duffer brothers.
"Each episode is building on the last one. It gets much crazier than it ever got in season one," said Matt, half of the Duffer brothers duo.
"Stranger Things" returns to Netflix for its season 2 this Oct. 27.
