Netflix's smash hit "Stranger Things" has been renewed for season two, according to Variety.
The new season will be 9 episodes long and will come out in 2017. The Duffer brothers, who created the show, will return to write the new season. Sources told Variety that work on season two has "already been underway for quite some time."
14.4 million watched "Stranger Things" in its first 35 days, according to ratings startup SymphonyAM. The show is a supernatural sci-fi thriller that draws heavily from '80s movies and TV. It's a nostalgia play, done to perfection.
It currently has a 95% Rotten Tomatoes critic rating, a 96% audience rating, and it has sent the internet abuzz since it was released in mid-July. Analysts from Pacific Crest even take it as evidence that Netflix's system for producing shows is working the way it's supposed to.
But it almost didn't happen. In fact, co-creator Matt Duffer told Rolling Stone that "Stranger Things" had been rejected 15 to 20 times by different networks before Netflix.
Now it's one of Netflix's biggest hits, and is getting a second season.
