In a new interview with the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, they revealed that the upcoming season will reveal the mystery of the “Upside Down.” In the series, “Upside Down” – Shadow World in German – refers to a parallel world in which creatures and evil forces exist.
Ross Duffer told Variety that they were aware early in the writing process that the most important question to answer was “the nature of the Upside Down.” He added: “Every season we asked ourselves, ‘Should we talk about this?’ And we said, ‘No, let’s wait.’ And then finally we said, ‘Well, now we have to do it!’”
