After months and months (did we mention months?) of waiting, Netflix finally saw fit to release the first trailer for the third season of its hit supernatural series, Stranger Things.
Deviating from the first two seasons, the upcoming collection of episodes will be mix over the summer of 1985, a season that saw the release of such cultural milestones as Robert Zemeckis’ Back to lớn the Future and Mötley Crüe"s Theatre of Pain. Indeed the new trailer utilizes a famous track off the famous rock album, “Home Sweet Home” at the very beginning before transitioning into a delectable ‘80s-inspired remix of The Who’s "Baba O’Riley."
Since we still have four months to go until the premiere of Season 3, we thought it would help khổng lồ pass the time by deconstructing some of the trailer’s biggest moments & what they might mean for the good people of Hawkins, Indiana.
That being said, here are 24 scenes from the trailer that are worth a second look….

Close Encounters of the Dustin Kind:
At the very start, we catch up with Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), who has just returned trang chủ from “Camp Know Where.” Based on the nerdy name và the computer graphic on his hat, we can only assume that he was attending some sort of math camp. As Dustin greets his turtle, the toys on his floor (R2-D2 being one of them) begin to lớn move of their own volition. Seconds later, it’s revealed that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is controlling them with her mind in an effort to lớn surprise Dustin with a welcome back greeting from his best friends. Of course, the imagery of the electronic toys being brought lớn life is very reminiscent of Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which pulled off a similar sequence with young Barry Guiler.
Dustin ventures into the hall to see what’s causing his toys lớn start up out the blue, unsure if he’s dreaming or not. Look closely at the spray he’s holding in his hand as a defensive weapon and you’ll see that it’s the very Farrah Fawcett hairspray that Steven Harrington (Joe Keery) recommended to lớn Dustin last season! Besides the music, politics, & films of the 1980s, the decade was very much defined by its larger-than-life hairstyles.
Summer has arrived:
If nothing else, the shot of this wide xuất hiện green field phối against the backdrop of a clear xanh sky underscores the summer setting of Season 3. While the first two seasons were obviously full of adventure, there’s something about summer that denotes endless possibilities. Obviously, the Duffer Brothers will be tapping into a bygone era when kids were always outside và on their bikes instead of inside & on their mobile devices.
Weather vane or A.V. Antenna?
What are the friends erecting in that verdant field? It looks very much like some kind of weather-detecting device, but we suspect that it’s yet another homage lớn Spielberg’s E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial. Or, ya know, it could have something to bởi vì with them all being in the Hawkins A.V. Club. Speaking of which, where vì you think Mr. Clarke (Randy Havens) will make an appearance this season or is he on vacation?
Extra! Extra!
The local Hawkins newspaper, The Hawkins Post, is set lớn player a major role in Season 3. Serving as the face of the institution is Bruce (The Predator’s Jake Busey), an investigate reporter with a dubious moral code và one sick sense of humor.
Jonathan & Nancy sitting in a tree:
Everyone knows that Jonathan Byers (Charlie Heaton) và Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) got together last season, but why are they so fancily-dressed in their ‘80s best & sitting in the waiting room of what we assume is a law office? They’re not eloping, are they? Are they?!
Lifeguard duty:
With the summertime setting comes the eventual cool down at the community pool, but who in their right mind would ever appoint Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery) as a lifeguard? As he proved with his Stranger Things debut last season, he is a certified jerk và dillweed. However, the Hawkins community pool is set to introduce us to a never-before-seen character, Heather (Francesca Reale), who becomes embroiled in one of the season’s central mysteries.
Table for Hopper:
Still smoking, eh Chief Hopper (David Harbour)? Who are you meeting for dinner? Is it Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder)? Well, with the late Bob Newby (Sean Astin) out of the way, the field is clear. After all, the two characters have common ground on which to lớn emotionally bond.
Poor Joyce:
Joyce has had a rough couple of years: her son, Will (Noah Schnapp), got transported to lớn an alternate dimension; when he got back, he was possessed by a demonic entity; and then her boyfriend was killed by extra-dimensional hounds. We sympathize with her now more than ever.
Best of friends:
Eleven was incredibly jealous & wary of Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) at the kết thúc of last season, but the Season 3 trailer promises that a few of months of getting to lớn know one another has turned them into the best of friends. Now, they hang out, reading teenage magazines and listening to music. It’s nice lớn know that Eleven is getting lớn experience a real childhood. Suck it, Matthew Modin!
The "Hawkins Gang" begins to lớn crack:
The growing pains of adolescence are becoming more apparent than ever. The once tight knit group of Dustin, Will, Mike (Finn Wolfhard), và Lucas (Caleb Mc
Laughlin) is beginning lớn break apart as members of the group begin khổng lồ branch out on their own, discovering the pangs of young love.
Hitting the mall:
In the words of Robin Sparkles, “Let’s go to the mall, everybody!” Judging by the look on Eleven’s face, she’s never been in one before. Luckily, she has Max as her guide.
On the picket line:
Back in the day, independently run mom and pop shops were the backbone of America. That all changed with the advent of the all encompassing mega-marts that put them out of business, but Season 3 looks lượt thích it will be exploring that in depth, perhaps even drawing parallels to the current politics.
Arnie?
There’s no way that the gun-toting dude in the carnival fun house isn’t a direct mirror of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator. Who he is và why he’s out for blood is pressing question that we need answered!
Stormy beach:
Despite being officially adopted by Hopper và getting lớn live a normal tweenage life, Eleven is still be haunted by her past và powers. Remember that the Mind Flayer is still out there, hoping to lớn take over our reality!
The Upside Down spreads (again):
The face is blurry, but we’re pretty sure that Billy’s contracted the Upside Down virus. Lượt thích we said above, he’s a dillweed, so we don’t feel that bad, but the influence of the Upside Down (and maybe even the Mind Flayer) could make him even more of a jerk than usual.
These gas mask dudes getting hit by electricity:
When will these science-y folks learn that messing with things beyond are comprehension isn’t always such a good idea? Is this another government-government-sanctioned experiment khổng lồ poke through into other worlds at the Hawkins Labs or something else entirely? What’s with the creepy gas masks?
Erica goes full John Mc
Clain:
Lucas’ little sister, Erica (Priah Ferguson), proved khổng lồ be a breakout character in Season 2 & Noah Schnapp said last summer that she’d have a much bigger role in Season 3. Of course, she’ll be teaming up with our heroes khổng lồ help stop the latest supernatural threat from destroying them town. Why else would she pull a legit Die Hard and crawl through a ventilation shaft?
As you wish:
Another new face in Season 3 will be Hawkins’ mayor, who is played by The Princess Bride’s Cary Elwes. Playing in with the trends of the times, Mayor Kline is a sleazy ‘80s politician, one most likely lớn ignore the growing supernatural entities in favor of profits và public peace over the summer. In other words, he’s exactly like the Mayor from Jaws.
Full
Netflix couldn’t release a new trailer without throwing in a reference khổng lồ Eleven’s favorite food in the world, Eggo waffles! She’s back in the supermarket, in front of the frozen breakfast delectables, with a star-spangled bandana tied around her eyes, something she does when she wants to fully break into the Upside Down.
These two mystery women:
Who are they and why are their dead-eyed stars freaking us out so much? We just don’t have all the pieces!
Makin" it with Murray:
We owe a great debt khổng lồ investigator-for-hire, Murray Bauman (Brett Gelman). Had it not been for him, Jonathan and Nancy may never have hooked up. He"s also a funny-as-hell character, so it"s good to lớn see he"ll be back for Season 3...if that is indeed him, of course.

Steve in trouble:
He may have been a conceited pretty boy at one time, but now Steve Harrington is one of the best characters on the show. That’s why we feel his pain in that quick shot of him screaming in agony. Who’s hurting you, Steve? GIVE US A NAME!
You’re one ugly mother…
Season 1 gave us the Demogorgon, Season 2 gave us Demodogs & the Mind Flayer, & Season 3 gives us a blob boss that brings to lớn mind Rob Bottin’s creature designs for John Carpenter’s remake of The Thing. It’s the ugliest creature thus far, that’s for sure.
The third season of Stranger Things 3 puts a definitive cap on poor Billy’s time as The Mind Flayer’s mouthpiece and The Starcourt’s rule over local teen’s wallets. But an ongoing television serial must leave some questions unanswered, và the following are the queries we’ll be rolling over và over in our heads until Stranger Things 4 arrives.
The over of Stranger Things 3 is one of bittersweet farewells: El và Mike, Mike và Will, Nancy và Jonathan, Joyce & Hopper, the Byers and everyone in Hawkins. But there’s also the parting of El và her telekinetic & telepathic abilities, those blessings/curses she carries with her after surviving a hellish childhood under Dr. Brenner’s tutelage. The events of “Chapter Eight: The Battle Of Starcourt” pave El a path for moving on, but it’s also the first time in the series that she was unable to save the day. Mike tells her “they’ll come back, I know they will,” và friends don’t lie (but boyfriends do). Until then, living in a new town, with a new family, Eleven has a fresh slate & her first real shot at living an everyday kid’s existence. But is it worth being haunted by the memories of her traumatic upbringing without being able khổng lồ fight those demons off with otherworldly strengths? How much of Stranger Things 4 will involve El attempting lớn relocate this part of herself? and can she please vày it without visiting her sister in Chicago?
Is Hopper “The American”?

David Harbour’s comments on the matter notwithstanding, there’s plenty to lớn puzzle over regarding the prisoner referred lớn only as “The American” in the Kamchatka stinger—and is it at all possible that it’s Chief Hopper? Seems unlikely, given the silhouetted soldiers who were vaporized after Joyce turned the shutdown keys and put an over to the Russians’ Upside Down expedition. But we never trust a TV “death” unless it leaves behind a corpse, và there remains a chance, however slim, that Hop was blown off the catwalk by the explosion & then carried away in whatever quick-sweep escape left the underground lab devoid of Red Army representatives upon Dr. Owens’ arrival. Speaking of which…
What’s Dr. Owens up to?
Marking the year’s second-most surprising Paul Reiser comeback (after the resurrection of Mad About You), Department of Energy scientist Dr. Sam Owens is among the government officials who swoop in after the climax of “The Battle Of Starcourt.” When last we saw Owens, he was repaying a debt lớn Hopper: The chief saved the doc’s life, and the doc forged a birth certificate naming the chief Eleven’s father. Now Owens is back, và facing down a glowing crack beneath what used khổng lồ be the local mall. And the look on his face is loaded, to lớn say the least. Is it recognition? Terror? Or something more… sinister? Whatever he’s thinking, it means Owens’ Stranger Things story is far from over.
What did Mike mean when he told Will “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls”?
Read one way, Will’s insistence that he & his friends go about their summers like they usually do—secluded in the Wheelers’ basement among the mythical creations of Gary Gygax—and his destruction of Castle Byers are the expressions of a teenager who wants to lớn return to lớn a simpler time in his life: Before the Upside Down, before an actual Demogorgon, before superpowered girlfriends. Read from a different angle, however, và the “girl” part of that list is most telling. It’s been speculated that Will might be gay since the show’s first season, và the argument he has with Mike in “Chapter Three: The Case Of The Missing Lifeguard”—in which Mike says khổng lồ Will “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls”—is the latest bit of onscreen information lending credence to that speculation. But that’s also the type of thing that a cishet teen boy born in the 1970s would say in the heat of the moment lớn wound a friend who hasn’t shown any thắm thiết interest in girls or boys. Whatever he meant, and whatever it means about Will, it’s already prompted some lovely writing on how Will’s storylines, whatever their outcome, reflect the realities of growing up gay.
Will the Upside Down’s focus shift khổng lồ wherever the Byers và El are moving?
When Joyce closes the door to lớn the old Byers house, she’s closing the door on one phase of her & her family’s life: Their time in Hawkins, her marriage, that time when Will was trapped in another dimension and could only communicate through flickering lights, that other time when a destructive entity from said dimension possessed Will và he made a bunch of cryptic drawings that turned out khổng lồ be a map of underground tunnels. You’d think that maybe Joyce, Will, Jonathan, & their new surrogate family thành viên Eleven might be able to lớn leave all that emotional baggage at the house, but there’s just one problem: Wherever the Byers are moving to, they’re bringing with them the two people on Earth who have the most powerful connections khổng lồ the Upside Down. The gate’s closed, El’s psychic liên kết to that realm is disrupted, and all those fireworks surely loosened whatever grip The Mind Flayer still had on Will, but if the forces of the Upside Down could find them before, surely they’ll be able lớn find them beyond the Hawkins đô thị limits. Otherwise, what’s going khổng lồ be the looming, 1986-centric threat of Stranger Things 4: Halley’s Comet? The Brain computer virus? Captain Midnight? (We’re afraid Hands Across America & the officials at the Chernobyl Nuclear power nguồn Plant are already taken.)
Does the post-credits scene take place in the past, present, or future?
Look, we’re way the hell overdue for some time travel on the wistful, ’80s-inspired supernatural show. One may have assumed it was time, what with Back lớn The Future being all over this latest season’s marketing, but, on the surface at least, the film’s theatrical release simply served to địa chỉ some cultural texture lớn the events. What if, though, the film’s presence was more of a harbinger for what’s khổng lồ come? Something happened when the laser exploded, and whatever it was did something to Hopper, who is most certainly not dead. Could that post-credits scene—the one with a cell holding an unnamed “American”—actually take place during another timeline? Was Hopper sucked through time somehow? A glimpse into the past would be helpful, after all—just how did the Russians get mixed up in all of this? Is their Demogorgon the Demogorgon from the first season? Let us not forget that Stranger Things was originally going to lớn explore the rumored Montauk Project, a U.S. Government operation involving Nazi scientists and efforts lớn unlock time travel. It’s curious, then, that the specific snippets of Back to The Future we hear would have to bởi vì with the creation of a time machine. There’s also that extended scene of Steve và Robin unraveling the complexities of time travel as depicted in the film, as well as Max và Steve flaunting Marty Mc
Fly’s skateboard and vest, respectively. There’s also this theory that made our eyes glaze over. Maybe that’ll sell you?
What’s going on with Murray and Joyce?
Murray và Joyce nội dung a quality bond now, having foiled both a mind-flaying monster & a Russian intelligence operation while also losing people they cared about in Alexei and Hopper, respectively. There’s also the weird message viewers will hear if they dial up Murray’s trang chủ phone number, which Hopper spits out in the sixth episode of this latest season. “If this is Joyce—Joyce, thank you for calling, I’ve been trying to reach you,” Murray says in a prerecorded message. “I have an update. It’s about—well, it’s about—it’s probably best if we speak in person. It’s not good or bad but it’s something.” Interesting.
Is Grigori (a.k.a. Russian Terminator) really dead?
Arnold Schwarzenegger fans got a special treat this season in Grigori, a Russian heavy with a penchant for assault weapons & unflinching gazes. No mere human could’ve survived getting chucked into a spinning, malfunctioning laser, but, as we’ve learned time & again, nobody’s dead until we’ve seen the mangled body. Also, Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop will hit theaters roughly two years after the events of season three, & if there’s anything that film taught us it’s that there is hope yet for the mangled body. Duffers, we beg of you: Give us Evil Russian Robocop.
Have we seen the last of Mayor Larry Kline?
Cary Elwes was a major get for Stranger Things, though most would agree that his sniveling Larry Kline didn’t make much of an impact in this outing. Sure, he was in bed with the Russians, but a few beatdowns và an abrupt arrest don’t make for much of an arc. Luckily, as we saw with Paul Reiser’s Dr. Owens và Brett Gelman’s Murray this season, the Duffer Brothers aren’t quick khổng lồ forget about their supporting players, & it’s likely that Kline’s Russian ties could make him relevant as the story moves forward. Also, when I had a chance lớn interview Elwes ahead of the premiere, he noted that what linked he and Billy’s characters was their individual “god complexes.” He continued, “Where did Kline get this desire lớn be somebody who was interested in power and using it for his own benefit? That’s obviously a theme
What’s the Russians’ plan for the Demogorgon?
Because you don’t usher an unstoppable killing across the veil just khổng lồ torture prisoners. The Soviet Union has weaponized the Upside Down, and this just might be the closest thing you’ll get to a realization of that tín đồ theory about the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear power nguồn Plant being related to Stranger Things. (Hey, if it gets Jared Harris on the show…)
Why has it taken this long for a Stranger Things character to lớn work at a video clip store?

Not that we’re complaining. If there’s one corner of ’80s nostalgia that’s heretofore gone untapped, it’s the joys of the local đoạn clip store, the towering, VHS-laden shelves of which will undoubtedly enrapture our young heroes in much the same way the Starcourt Mall did in season three.
