Wednesday: Season 2 Watch with kid

Youngest OK: 13+
Best ages: 13–17

Jenna Ortega returns to Nevermore Academy. Netflix is splitting Season 2 into two parts — August 6 and September 3, 2026.

Bottom line: Best for 13 and up. Sensitive 11-12 year olds who loved Season 1 may find Season 2 too intense — preview an episode first.

Stranger Things Watch with kid

Genuinely scary, more violent each season, with serious horror elements. Not the casual family show some assume.

Bottom line: Best for 12+ with parental check-ins. Sensitive kids should wait until 13-14. Don't be fooled by the kids-on-bikes vibe — by season 2 it earns its TV-14.
