"Stranger Things" Season 2 fans can finally finally rejoice as the gang is almost entirely back together for the next season.

After all the teasers and new cast addition announcements, fans of the hit Netflix series Stranger Things starring Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder can breathe a sigh of relief. "Stranger Things" stars Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp, and Finn Wolfhard were seen together at Atlanta for the first time on the set of the second season last Monday.

The kids will reprise their roles with McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Schnapp as Will Byers, and Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler. Shnapp was promoted to series regular after being a recurring character in the first season.

Also seen on set is Natalia Dyer. Dyer plays Mike's older sister Nancy.

Other "Stranger Things" stars seen on the set are Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, and recurring cast member Chelsea Talmadge, rocking their 80's retro wardrobe before doing their scenes.

But fans of 12-year-old breakout star Brown or Eleven are scared that they did not see her on the set, putting a fear that the fan-favorite won't be returning to the screen.

But fret not "Stranger Things" Season 2 fans! Brown herself already confirmed that Eleven will be back on screen together with the gang. However, it is unclear how many episodes she'll be seen after vanishing into ash with the monster in the season finale.

Earlier "Stranger Things" Season 2 updates on the show include Paul Reiser, Sean Astin, Linnea Berthelsen, Sadie Sink, and Dacre Montgomery as the new additional cast members for season 2.

There is still no official release date of "Stranger Things" Season 2 from Netflix but it is expected to be released in 2017. For now, fans can enjoy this fan made LEGO version of the series.
