Don’t Expect “Stranger Things 3” Until 2019
After Netflix’s surprise success of “Stranger Things” in July of 2016, they were already teasing a return to the Upside Down by January. It took a little over a year for “Stranger Things 2” to premiere, with Netflix streaming the Halloween-themed second season this past October. It felt as if this could become an annual event, but realistically it seemed improbable that “Stranger Things 3” would find its way onto Netflix by October of 2018.
David Harbour, who plays Jim Hopper on the series, confirms that we’ll be waiting until at least 2019 for the return of the Demogorgons. He explained to Variety that the show’s creators, the Duffer brothers, need time to work out the scripts.
“I mean, one of the things that’s annoying for fans is that it takes us a long time to do them,” he said. “Like, you probably won’t get [Season 3] until sometime in 2019. But also part of the thing is, like any good thing, they need time. And those guys work so hard. I mean, they just sit in their apartment and write for 12, 14 hours a day.”
There’s a slight rush in that these kids are growing up quickly, and the Duffer brothers have already confirmed they plan to have a few years pass between the events in Season 2 and the forthcoming Season 3.
It’ll be interesting to see how a newly rejuvenated Eleven is utilized, and if Will continues to be a conduit to the Upside Down and it’s horrifying, Lovecraftian Shadow Monster. We’ve got plenty of time to speculate, which is fine with me because it’ll allow me to revisit the first two season multiple times before we all return to Hawkins, Indiana.
The Caped Crusader is back in the upcoming Batman: Knightfall animated trilogy event, and he’s also returning this Summer in the second season of “Batman: Caped Crusader.”
Prime Video has announced this morning that “Batman: Caped Crusader” Season 2 will premiere on July 31 on Prime. In the meantime, watch the new official trailer down below.
In “Batman: Caped Crusader” Season 2, there are new villains on the streets of Gotham City and there’s only one man for the job. This season, it’s not a fight anymore. It’s a WAR…
The animated series “Batman: Caped Crusader” is a “reimagining of the Batman mythology” from J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Bruce Timm, Sam Register and Ed Brubaker.
“Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human—The Batman.
“His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.”
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review of the first season, “Batman: Caped Crusader’s unique, terrifying take on established corners of the DC universe is sure to resonate with horror fans, comic book aficionados, and everything in between. Caped Crusader’s immersion into EC Comics ideology and a true indulgence in horror is a superpower that’s more fascinating and dangerous than any WayneTech gadget or Kryptonite-powered super-suit.”
Hamish Linklater voices Batman/Bruce Wayne in the series, alongside Mckenna Grace, Reid Scott, Dane Donohue, Gary Anthony Williams, Jason Watkins, John Dimaggio, Krystal Joy Brown, Michelle C. Bonilla, Eric Morgan Stuart, Tom Kenny, Minnie Driver, Diedrich Bader, Jamie Chung and Christina Ricci.
Based on DC characters, “Batman: Caped Crusader” hails from Warner Bros. Animation, Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and Reeves’ 6th & Idaho. Along with Abrams, Reeves and Timm, “Batman: Caped Crusader” executive producers include Ed Brubaker, James Tucker, Daniel Pipski, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register.
