The season is set to be released on 4 July, which is America’s Independence Day, and that fact is properly advertised in the trailer.
It’s been a while since we last saw Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Will (Noah Schnapp), and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), and it seems as though they’ve resumed their childhoods after the events of seasons one and two. Summer vacation is in full swing, and there are visits to the local mall, pranks, and summer jobs at the local ice cream parlour and pool. The kids are dealing with normal kid stuff, and it looks as though that core group of friends is beginning to drift apart.
Of course, this is Stranger Things, so that idyllic summer is broken up by all manner of human and monstrous threats revolving around the horrific alternate world known as the Upside Down.
