Season 3 Premiere! “Stranger Things 3” Thursday, July 4 on Netflix

Season 3 jumps to the summer of 1985. The kids are getting older, romances are heating up and everyone is totally psyched about the new mall in town. But something from the Upside Down has plans of its own.

It’s 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana, and summer’s heating up. School’s out, there’s a brand new mall in town, and the Hawkins crew are on the cusp of adulthood. Romance blossoms and complicates the group’s dynamic, and they’ll have to figure out how to grow up without growing apart. Meanwhile, danger looms. When the town’s threatened by enemies old and new, Eleven and her friends are reminded that evil never ends; it evolves. Now they’ll have to band together to survive, and remember that friendship is always stronger than fear.

Stranger Things 3 premieres globally on July 4, only on Netflix.
