While fans have certainly been hoping that Season 3 would show up sometime this fall, an ’80s-tastic teaser that was released in mid-July gave everyone the impression that there would actually be no new Stranger Things in 2018.
A couple of weeks later, Netflix confirmed that that would, indeed, be the case, as Season 3 is scheduled to drop sometime in the summer of 2019.
Season 1 debuted in the summer of 2016, so while this is going to feel like a long wait, it will at least get us back on the original release schedule.
