On November 19, during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Millie Bobby Brown hinted that Season 3 will not be the last season. Colbert asked the actress if the photos the she shared of herself crying after Season 3 wrapped meant that her character, Eleven, is killed off.
Levy noted in November 2015 that he and the Duffer Brothers had already begun planning a potential third season, saying, "We are not gonna be caught off guard and we don't wanna be making stuff up like the day before we have to write it and make it, so we are definitely optimistic and we have started thinking ahead." [23] The Duffer Brothers anticipate having about four to five seasons to work with, but do want to "have a really finite ending" while the series is still at a height of success, according to Matt, rather than letting it draw out indefinitely. [24] In August 2017, the Duffer Brothers confirmed there would be a third season, with the likelihood of one more season following that, with Ross saying, "We're thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out". [25] However, executive producer Shawn Levy later suggested that either four or five total seasons were possibilities, claiming that "the truth is, we're definitely going four seasons and there's very much the possibility of a fifth. Beyond that, it becomes, I think, very unlikely." [26] Matt Duffer later commented that no official decision has been made, claiming that "It's hard, like four seems short, five seems long. So I don't know what to do." [27] In December 2017, Netflix officially confirmed that they had green lit the third season, [28] consisting of eight episodes. Levy also confirmed that a fourth season was "definitely happening" and that there was potential for a fifth season. [29] A year later, the episode titles for season three were revealed, along with confirming the season would be named Stranger Things 3, similar to the second season.

Chief Hopper is now raising a teenager with superpowers and a boyfriend, which is bringing him closer to Joyce but isn't helping with his health.Stranger things have happened, but speaking to NME, Linnea Berthelsen – who plays Kali, AKA Eight – doesn’t think that the Season 2 episode ‘The Lost Sister’ is a set-up for a spin-off show. This season they just came up with this arc and this idea that's so original and so new that and so fun," he told us. "What I can tell you is this, like you see season one you see season two and we're playing with the same alphabet of these '80s epics, but we're kinda throwing out the model again and sort of expanding these characters in ways that you wouldn't expect them to go in, so that's what I love about it, is that you have these characters in this show that is clearly working and yet the Duffers are continuously interested in exploring the limits and taking risks and we take a lot of risks this season so there's a lot of new relationships that get set-up and a lot of new devices and a lot of new cinematic influences."

More new details have emerged about the plot, with the show’s co-creator and co-showrunner Matt Duffer who has spoken to EW about what fans can expect. He’s confirmed the action will take place in the summer before the kids enter high school, and that the new season will focus primarily on change. Millie Bobby Brown also revealed in a May 2019 interview with Entertainment Weekly that Eleven’s character “evolves greatly”. Directo-Meston, Danielle (July 3, 2019).

Will Season 3 feature more of Erica?

Retrieved July 9, 2019. Meanwhile, a horde of rats race through the July 4 fun fair put on by the town’s Mayor Kline – with Hopper looking concerned and what appears to be an assassin in a hall of mirrors. The movies Robin names as her favorites are Billy Wilder’s masterpiece The Apartment(1960), Akira Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress(1958), which was a major influence on Star Wars, and Marcel Carné’s Children of Paradise(1945). Priah Ferguson, who played Lucas’ little sister Erica, is now a series regular, so she’ll show up in all eight episodes this year. Considering how much fun she was in the few minutes of screentime we got with her in season two, this can only be a good thing.
The finale of the episode "E Pluribus Unum", particularly the scenes involving Eleven's telepathic encounter with the Mind Flayer-possessed Billy, contains excerpts of "Confrontation and Rescue" from the second act of Satyagraha by Philip Glass. But as the ominous final scene of Season 2 suggested, the Mind Flayer could still cause them hassle. According to The Duffer Brothers,”they’ve shut the door on the Mind Flayer, but not only is it still there in the Upside Down, it’s very much aware of the kids, and particularly Eleven. It had not encountered her and her powers until that final episode. Now, it knows that she’s out there. We wanted to end on a little bit of an ominous note.” Job done, then. It appears that the creepy ass torture doctor is named Dr. Zarkov, which could be a reference to Flash Gordon‘s Dr. Hans Zarkov (who was not a creepy ass torture doctor, but a charming genius and loon, especially when played by the brilliant Topol). The waiting time between Seasons 2 and 3 is bigger than that of Seasons 1 and 2, leading some fans to wonder if the show had been cancelled altogether. But no, it has not – Stranger Things is definitely returning for Season 3.
Priah Ferguson, who plays the character, seems well up for it, too. “I hope Erica could partner with Lucas and fight off the Demogorgan with Eleven, Mad Max, and the whole cast,” she told Teen Vogue. “I feel like her just snooping around in Lucas’s room – I feel like that’s a little bit of a clue. But maybe not.” Any new characters being introduced for Stranger Things 3? David Harbour had some very curious things to say about how the show is using the '80s and taking things in a new direction. Eleven, who had just then reconciled with Mike, uses her powers to incapacitate the Tom/Bruce Mind Flayer, forcing it to flee to the mill. In the Russian lab beneath Starcourt, Steve and Robin are captured, drugged, and interrogated, but Dustin and Erica manage to rescue them. With Murray translating, Hopper and Joyce hold Alexei hostage, forcing him to reveal that the Russians are attempting to access the Upside Down and that they are opening a portal beneath Starcourt. Hopper calls Owens to warn the U.S. Government of the threat, but Joyce insists they return to Hawkins immediately, fearing that their kids may be involved. Grigori corners Kline at Hawkins' Independence Day fair, demanding he step up efforts to find Hopper. Mike argues with Max about relying on Eleven’s powers and inadvertently admits his love for Eleven. To find the Mind Flayer, Eleven uses her powers in an attempt to psychically communicate with Billy, learning of his traumatic childhood and finding the Mind Flayer at the mill. Billy senses Eleven's presence, giving the Mind Flayer access to her location, and reveals that the Mind Flayer plans to kill her to avenge her closing the gate. The Flayed converge on the mill, dissolving into an organic mass and merging with the Mind Flayer. Ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins started offering Stranger Things-inspired menu items in the months prior to the season's release, and at the launch of the third season, several Baskin-Robbins stores across the United States and Canada [81] were made up into the fictional "Scoops Ahoy!" ice cream parlor in the show for about two weeks.

Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things," the Duffer brothers added. "At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four, but – as you'll see for yourselves – we are now hurtling toward our finale." Dustin and Suzie perform a rousing rendition of Limahl’s “Never Ending Story” from the movie of the same name, a 1984 fantasy classic. The early pitch documents for the season featured a scene that had the Mind Flayer monster rampaging through the Hawkins Fourth of July Parade, but the idea was later scrapped as the scripts were written. [36] Casting [ edit ] Dustin is an OG Brony, although that term did not exist in the ‘80s. His knowledge of My Little Ponylore might be unusual for boys his age in the 1980s, but Dustin clearly is no first level nerd. And he’s right to call Erica out on her equally geeky obsessions. Oh look, it’s Phoebe Cates in her Fast Times at Ridgemont Highglory! That cardboard cutout in a video store would cause some triggered tweets today… as would a video store still being open.This season, Hopper does a lot of really big, like, action-y things," he said. "But he's fatter than you've ever seen him and less capable of hurting people, but a little more capable because he's just like a big elephant." Weiss, Josh (March 27, 2019).
