Fans of Netflix’s Stranger Things now have three—and possibly, four—reasons to rejoice.

In an interview with Vulture, the series’ twin-brother writer-director-producers Matt and Ross Duffer, said that in addition to the upcoming second season—which premieres on Oct. 27—Netflix has already renewed the show for a third season, and possibly, even a fourth. “We’re thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out,” Ross told New York’s Vulture. “We just have to keep adjusting the story,” said Matt. “Though I don’t know if we can justify something bad happening to them once a year.”

The success of Stranger Things hasn’t only been a boon for its creators; the show’s popularity contributed to Netflix’s massive second-quarter, which saw a revenue uptick of 32 percent to $2.79 billion and the addition of over 5.2 million new subscribers.

Furthermore, the series has a heavy showing in this year’s Emmy Awards, securing 18 nominations, including appearances in categories for best drama, supporting actress in a drama (Millie Bobby Brown), and supporting actor in a drama (David Harbour).
