Stranger Things Season 3 is on the way, and Netflix has dropped almost everything fans need to know about it. This season's official synopsis and episode titles are not out, and those tease what is about to happen.
"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," Stranger Things Season 3 official synopsis read. "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."
There will be enemies new and old. Even though Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the rest of the group has sealed the Upside Down's gateway, the enemies still manage to find their way back to Hawkins - and they evolve. So, everyone has to stay together to fight off the new nemesis.
There will be befriending issues, another Barb-like murder, and a battle at the Starcourt, the newly-built mall in town. Stranger Things Season 3 has eight episodes to explore the future of Hawkins with the threat of new evil forces coming.
According to Games Radar, it will bear the titles "Suzie, Do You Copy?" "The Mallrats," "The Case of the Missing Lifeguard," "The Sauna Test," "The Source," "The Birthday," "The Bite," and "The Battle of Starcourt." Although those sounds like generic titles, Episodes 3, 7, and 8 seem intriguing.
"The Case of the Missing Lifeguard" seems to imply Billy (Dacre Montgomery) will be mysteriously missing just like what happened to Barb (Shannon Purser) back in Season 1. In Stranger Things Season 3 trailer, he is even seen with a bite on his arm. So, he may be taken by a new kind of Demogorgon to the Upside Down.
There is also "The Battle of Starcourt." As it will serve as the season finale, something intense may be happening here. There may be a great fight between Eleven's group of friends and the new enemy from the Upside Down, and it will take place at the newly-built Starcourt, where Steve (Joe Keery) is working.
Meanwhile, the kids of Stranger Things Season 3 made their way to Good Morning America to tease fans of what would happen to the new installment, per Winter is Coming. Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin's role, revealed the upcoming eight episodes would be "definitely gorier" compared to the previous ones. He even warned viewers that "it is not for the faint of heart."
Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler) and Brown, on the other hand, added their romance would continue after the awkward kiss they shared in the previous season finale. So, it looks like fans are about to feel a roller coaster ride of emotions in Stranger Things Season 3 with the looming dangers and blossoming relationships. Netflix is set to drop its entire eight episodes on July 4.
