New “Stranger Things” Season 3 Details; What Year Is It Set In?
Filming is set to begin next month on the third season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,“ which may not be hitting the streaming service until early 2019. So far we know that the season will be eight episodes long, one less than Season 2, and that it’s set to “deal with forces of evil that are new.” Over the weekend, we learned more.
During the show’s PaleyFest panel, producer Shawn Levy revealed some new Season 3 details, noting that the season will be set during the Summer of ’85!
Additionally, Levy teased that Eleven & Mike and Lucas & Max are officially couples at the start of Season 3, while also noting that we’ll be seeing plenty of Steve.
“Mike and Eleven and are going strong, so that’s a relationship that continues, and same with Mad Max and Lucas,” said Levy. “But again, they’re like 13 or 14-year-old kids, so what does romance mean at that stage of life? It can never be simple and stable relationships and there’s fun to that instability.”
On the subject of Steve, “We’ll definitely get to see some more of Steve Harrington in season three, and I’ll just say we won’t be abandoning the Dad Steve magic. I don’t want to say much more, but I literally feel that we were walking along and we stumbled onto a gold mine with Dad Steve.”
Levy also talked about those new forces of evil in a chat with Variety.
“We did see at the end of Episode 9 that the Shadow Monster is still lurking in the Upside Down… and he is determined to find a way to achieve his goals,” Levy teased to the outlet. “The [demo]dogs didn’t get it done in Season 3, so he’s gonna need… he’s gonna have some new strategies.”
