By Julia Bianco

Stranger Things season two is almost here. Just days before the highly anticipated release, Netflix has gifted us with another poster for the upcoming season, featuring Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) front and center. The poster also shows off the rest of the show's ensemble cast, including newcomer Sadie Sink as Max, the series' newest location in the Palace Arcade, and the terrifying new monster threatening Hawkins. You can view the poster at the bottom of this article.

Stranger Things season two is set to take place around Halloween of 1984, a year after the events of the first season. The season will feature Will (Noah Schnapp) suffering from PTSD thanks to his time in the Upside Down, while Chief Hopper (David Harbour) tries to cover up the events of the first season to help protect Will and Joyce (Winona Ryder). The season is also set to introduce the series' "main villain," according to co-creator Ross Duffer.

Sink is set to lead season two's new cast members as the boys' tough and confident new friend Max, who dominates the high score charts at the local arcade. Other new cast members include Darce Montgomery as Max's edge and violent older step-brother Billy; Sean Astin as a former high school nerd and the new boyfriend of Joyce; Paul Reiser as a high-ranking member of the Department of Energy who now runs the lab; Linnea Berthelsen as an emotionally damaged woman with a connection to the supernatural events at the lab; and Will Chase as a new parent in town.

The rest of the show's cast includes Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Joe Keery. Stranger Things returns for season two on Oct. 27.
