What is next in store for Will?

Speaking about the sho at the Fan2Sea Comic Con, Sheriff Hopper actor David Harbour said: "It's a year later in the story. So there are several things that happened last year—like Will has come back—there are certain people in the town that know what happened, and then certain people that don't know what happened. So there's a lot of fall out with who knows what."
