Stranger Things: Despite the cheeky teaser, season 3 will be a lot darker, says producer

Netflix recently released a teaser of the upcoming season of Stranger Things, delivering plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor

For fans of Netflix's sci-fi series 'Stranger Things,' it is going to be one nailbiting wait until the summer of 2019 before Eleven and friends return with more cycle-trotting adventure. In the meantime though, every update that comes our way from Hawkins, Indiana is more than welcome.

Most recently, the streaming service released a teaser of the upcoming season of the Duffer brothers-created series, delivering plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor. With the focus primarily on Hawkins’ latest Starcourt Mall, the clip appeared almost like a dragged advertisement of sorts, replete with '80s nostalgia — an element that has almost become synonymous with the show.

While plotlines laced in comedy and retro drama seem like signature elements of Netflix's 'Stranger Things', one must not mistake the humor to be the only highlight of the future episodes. If anything, season 3 is headed towards darker and action-packed parts of the narrative, according to executive producer Shawn Levy.
