Its trailer was one of the highlights of the Super Bowl and now Stranger Things has given fans another tantalising glimpse at its second season.

Netflix has released five new pictures from the highly anticipated second series.

The shots include images of Detective Jim Hopper, Will Byers, Joyce Byers, Jonathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler and a photo of Dustin, Lucas, Will and Mike dressed as Ghostbusters.

Netflix says the second season will be set a year after Will was saved from the 'upside down' and that, although everything seems normal, 'darkness lurks just beneath the surface, threatening all of Hawkins'.

A trailer shown during the 51st Super Bowl last Sunday revealed that the global hit show will return for its second series on Hallowe'en.

Fan favourites Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Finn Wolfhard are all set to reprise their roles in the new series.
