My biggest question for “Stranger Things,” which seemed to dip in popularity and quality in season two, how long will the Duffer Brothers go with this show? “Stranger Things” feels like its story has been primarily told; the second season didn’t offer that much in way of anything new. Frankly, they’d be smart to go out on top and end things after season three, but something tells me, like a lot of TV shows, they’re just going to try and ride the wave as far as they can, but it often does the legacy of a story a disservice. The world is the Duffer Brothers’ oyster; they should take advantage of it now.



Now, Netflix has announced that “Stranger Things” season three will also arrive in the summer, this summer, in fact, July 4, 2019. The streaming giant released an announcement trailer on midnight New Year’s Eve, and while it doesn’t reveal a lot, fans are already parsing it, and the new poster (which you can see below) for details.

The third season is set a year later, in mid-1985, in the midst of the popularity of the film “Back to the Future” Mike (Wolfhard ) and Eleven has developed a relationship, as have Max (Sadie Sink) and Lucas (McLaughlin).
