Stranger Things fans, the countdown is on—Netflix dropped a new teaser for Stranger Things season three, in which they confirmed that it’s coming in 2019.
Back in July, while speaking with critics at the Television Critics Association’s press tour, programming executive Cindy Holland said that Stranger Things wouldn’t be back until summer 2019. At the time, she stated that this would help in making season three even better than the last, which fans had some mixed feelings about. “[The Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy] understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than last year,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a fantastic season. It will be worth the wait.”
The titles of the season’s eight episodes were also revealed in the latest teaser: “Suzie, Do You Copy?,” “The Mall Rats,” “The Case of the Missing Lifeguard,” “The Sauna Test,” “The Source,” “The Birthday,” “The Bite,” and “The Battle of Starcourt” are what we can expect to see.
With the finale of season two, we were all questioning whether the Mind Flayer will still play an integral part in the upcoming season. As Ross Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter, “They’ve shut the door on the Mind Flayer, but not only is it still there in the Upside Down, it’s very much aware of the kids, and particularly Eleven. It had not encountered her and her powers until that final episode. Now, it knows that she’s out there. We wanted to end on a little bit of an ominous note.”
I don’t think I can wait another year, but until then, I guess I’ll just have to binge-watch seasons one and two again.
