'Stranger Things' Season 2 Premiere Date, News: Cast Members Describe New Season With Emojis
The cast members of "Stranger Things" tried to describe the new season without giving too much away by using emojis.
While attending the Emmy party of the British Academy Film Awards, Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin, and Joe Keery, who portrays Steve, in "Stranger Things" described season 2 with emojis and tried to explain why it was appropriate.
Keery used a lightning bolt to describe season 2, Bustle confirmed. However, he said that he couldn't explain why because he's too worried that he might "give something away."
Based on the "Stranger Things" season 2 poster, it appears that lightning does play a big part in the story because of how the new monster appears in the skies whenever the clouds alight with electricity.
There are wild speculations that in season 2, lightning will enforce new monsters to appear in the small town of Hawkins. Although there's no evidence leading to it, anything's possible in "Stranger Things."
Meanwhile, Matarazzo chose the screaming scared-looking emoji to describe the upcoming season. But he also explains that there's more than just scary elements to the story.
"It's exciting, it's shocking, it's unpredictable, it's funny. It's everything you could ever want in a TV show put in one," Matarazzo said.
One of the show's cast members, Finn Wolfhard — who plays Mike — appeared in the remake of Stephen King's horror movie titled "It," and series showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer reveal that they were affected by it because of the change in his words.
"He's got a foul mouth. That's the thing. After he came back from shooting 'IT,' he did it before we shot season 2. He was f-bombing everywhere. I was like, 'What happened to my innocent Finn Wolfhard?'" Matt told Variety at the Emmy Awards.
Ross teased that "It" "corrupted" their sweet Wolfhard, while Matt gave a disclaimer that they had nothing to do with the child actor's use of bad words.
"Stranger Things" season 2 is slated to premiere on Friday, Oct. 27, on Netflix.
