A trailer for Stranger Things 2 dropped in the middle of the Super Bowl

It's time to get excited about the second season of Stranger Things.

The first trailer for the new series premiered as part of the Super Bowl adverts overnight. We always knew there was going to be a second series but, up until this point, we hadn't seen anything from it. Thankfully it made a welcomed return at the Super Bowl. Dustin and Eleven are the most prominent characters in the quick teaser trailer which gives us a taster of what to expect and, most importantly, has confirmed that the show will return in October. Naturally, when it appeared at the Super Bowl fans began to freak out on social media.

I think the @Stranger_Things ad was more exciting than the actual #Superbowl
