Fewer things in the most recent years have captured the social-media, meme-based, cultural zeitgeist as “Stranger Things,” which is a strange thing, indeed, because the show has absolutely nothing to do with us right now. These aren’t pre-teens on smartphones, Snapchatting their adventures through the Upside Down or taking selfies with the Mind Flayer in the background. They exist in the 1980s, which has been the nostalgic allure of the series since the beginning. Thus, what “Stranger Things” speaks to in the cultural majority is pure, child-like escapism, the timeless trait of filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas before us. The easy, heart-warming intentions of “Stranger Things” flourished the most in Season Two’s finale, which opened the doors of possibility for what lies ahead in Season Three.

The children of “Stranger Things” provide the emotional thread to string the audience together, and considering where Season Two left off, we could perhaps see an even further maturation of the kids as they develop in Season Three, similar to the structure of the “Harry Potter” films, with each installment becoming less childish and more “grown-up.”

It’s also intriguing to consider how further The Duffer Brothers will push the envelope of their increasingly-consistent style. Season Two did a wonderful job of expanding this very specific universe, but all within the same mold and style we expected from the first season. One aspect that has always been a drawing magnet for those to the series is the ever-vibrant soundtrack, provided by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon alongside carefully curated tracks capturing the ’80s aura. Ideally, a perfect Season Three would not only expand on these trademarks of the pertinent series, but find new areas within its culture and environment to explore. Season Three will most likely find the children in 1985, the mid-point of the era. The Duffer’s are such formidable connoisseurs of this decade that this mid-point must surely mean a shift or transition in timely trends.
Appropriately, little is known about the synopsis of Season Three, but actor Noah Schnapp had this to hint about what to expect:
“Oh yeah, it’s brutal,” he teased to MTV News. “It gets bad, it’s very big. I feel like every season it kinda gets more like it’s taking over Hawkins. I don’t think anyone in our show gets a break, that’s kind of what it’s about. So I can’t really say I get to just relax by the beach. I have to go through something otherwise people are gonna stop watching.”
“Stranger Things: Season Three” will be released on July 4th, 2019 on Netflix.
