Time Jump
While Netflix has not officially confirmed the second season of the series, there have been reports that there will be a time-jump once the new instalment starts. With the time-jump from the Season 1 finale, producers have come up with an idea of an 80's "Stranger Things" video game to bridge the gap.
Co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer reported that while the possible release of Season 2 will still be a year from the first season and the actors are growing up, they have introduced the idea of the 8-bit video game as a means to revisit the missing year.
Ross noted that the time-jump will actually open up a lot of possibilities, because it will allow fans to speculate on what happened in between the year. He added that as much as the time-jump is for kids, it also can be used to their advantage.
