Netflix's 'Stranger Things' Season 3 preview: Everything we know so far [Spoilers]

The upcoming season 3 of 'Stranger Things,' which began production in April 2018, will see ‘Back to the Future' dominating its cleverly timed references

‘Stranger Things,’ which has become one of the most popular and beloved shows on Netflix, has managed to wow us with two seasons, and it is with impatience, thinly veiled by self-imposed restraint, that we are waiting for the upcoming season 3. Ever since its premiere scheduled for July 4 was announced, we have been restless, and finally, we have some realistic and meaty information regarding what is to come.  

The Duffer brothers successfully created a universe so uniquely settled in the ‘80s, it presented opportunities for some truly 80-esque Dungeons and Dragons, walkie talkies and perfectly timed ‘ET’ references. The upcoming season 3, which began production in April 2018, will definitely continue this tradition, specifically with ‘Back to the Future’ dominating, but there is a lot more to the season than that.
