The executive producer revealed who would be “at the centre” of the upcoming instalment, set to be released later this year.
The run is expected to pick up shortly after Will Byers’ (played by Noah Schnapp) return from the upside down, with the episodes seemingly being focused on him.
Shawn commented: “Will Byers is very much at the centre of season two. Noah steps up in the most staggering way.”
The 48-year-old continued: “The Duffers and I, depending on who’s directing when, we keep sending texts to each other going, ‘Holy s**t, Noah is crushing it’.

We knew he had it in him
“We knew he had it in him, and it’s really now to get in that moment, and put him firmly in the thick of story.”
The first offering saw the fictional town of Hawkins rocked following the disappearance of Will and the emergence of a psychokinetic girl (Millie Bobby Brown).
Shawn went on to reveal that bosses had “too much story” to fit into season two, before hinting a third run could be happening during the interview with Mashable.

He added: “As the episodes were written by the Duffers, they realised that there was too much story for nine episodes. So it forced us to be judicious in which stories we tell this season.
"So one of the surprises was, not all of our grand ideas are going to be serviced in one season… If we had 40 ideas going into the season, 30 [we] are going to pick, and the rest go in the back of our head for, hopefully, future chapters.”
Stranger Things season 2 will be available on Netflix from October 31.
