The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl on Sunday, but it may have been Netflix who came away as the bigger winner. Many studios released some brand new trailers for upcoming movies and TV shows during the big game, and Netflix decided it was time to finally unleash the first teaser forStranger Thingsseason 2. Fans of the series were totally thrilled to see the footage and as it turns out, the cast of the series was just as, if not more, excited about it.
Noah Schnapp, who plays Will inStranger Things, posted a video to hisInstagrampage shortly after the teaser aired during theSuper Bowl. In the video, he and the other young cast members from the hit sci-fi series can be seen watching the teaser forStranger Thingsseason 2 for the first time, and their reaction is absolutely delightful. They have a full-blown freak out over it and their reaction seems like the physical embodiment of how Twitter and the rest of the internet reacted to watching the footage for the first time.
Prior to the release of the first teaser trailer forStranger Things Season 2, Netflix had been keeping details on the show under lock and key. Given the success of the first episodes, they moved ahead very quickly and it looks like, at least based on this first bit of video, that the show will deliver in a big way. Perhaps the most exciting part about the teaser is that it confirms the release date forStranger Thingsseason 2, which will be coming on Halloween. It also looks like part of the show will be taking place on Halloween, since the first picture that was released featured the gang dressed up asGhostbusters.
