Everybody was very overwhelmed by the fact that the show got such a great response, so going back to season two it was like kind of crazy that everybody knew what we're doing and we had to keep secrets." ACTORS MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AND CALEB MCLAUGHLIN INTERACTING ON RED CARPET (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR MILLIE BOBBY BROWN ON THE SHOW'S POSSIBLE EMMY NOMINATION, SAYING: "Yeah, it was kind of weird because, I mean, we never really thought the show would get any nominations let alone just be watched, so winning a SAG Award was really big but I think being nominated for an Emmy would be so cool and the show completely deserves it, and I'm just so happy to be a part of it."

It's the same crazy cast of characters so we're all like a family. There was kids around and there's these little Duffer Brothers who run the show so it feels very podunk in that way. We all know each other very well, we love each other, and then there was this added thing of we became a very popular show and people really loved it. And so there was an added level of excitement in making it, knowing that people could respond and also an added level or pressure like, 'Wow, we really want to now knock it out of the park, we've got a high bar, right?'" ACTOR DAVID HARBOUR TALKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR DAVID HARBOUR ON KEEPING SECRETS ABOUT SEASON TWO, SAYING: "It's weird, it's very weird. I'm not a big fan of... they have us burn our sides and our call sheets and everybody's on lockdown and it's not the way I like to operate. So it was a big deal and I'm also kind of terrible at it. I tend to spill things all the time so it's kind of a problem. In fact, I should probably stop talking right now but..."

I'm still the same but it's just the whole life and how crazy everything is. It's just an amazing and crazy ride." ACTOR CALEB MCLAUGHLIN TALKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR CALEB MCLAUGHLIN ON CELEBRITY FANS OF THE SHOW, SAYING: "We met President Barack Obama.

They were very good with security but it was definitely a lot stricter this season because you've got to make sure your mouth is shut so you don't spoil anything, as special as this is." ACTORS NOAH SCHNAPP AND FINN WOLFHARD TALKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR FINN WOLFHARD ON THINGS HE LOVED TO FILM IN SEASON TWO, SAYING: "Ooh, the Ghostbusters stuff was awesome. We got to ride our bikes and do a little bike chase in the Ghostbusters costumes and that was so surreal, just crazy. We had the Proton Packs too, it was crazy."

If we were to... if we had really wanted to kill him in season one, then we would have really killed him. You would have known."

SHOW CREATORS THE DUFF BROTHERS TALKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (English) EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR SHAWN LEVY ON POSSIBLE EMMY NOMINATIONS FOR THE SHOW, SAYING: "We are a show with kids and an interdimensional monster. In what kind of crazy reality does that become a PGA Awards winner and, similarly, to now be even in an Emmy conversation is astounding and thrilling." ACTOR MILLIE BOBBY BROWN TALKING TO MEDIA ACTORS MILLIE BOBBY BROWN AND FINN WOLFHARD TALKING TO MEDIA (SOUNDBITE) (English) EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR SHAWN LEVY ON STEVEN SPIELBERG BEING A FAN OF THE SHOW, SAYING: "Yes, Steven was one of the earliest people to reach out to me and then the Duff Brothers, and I think it was Steven and it was J.J.
