Levy noted in November 2015 that he and the Duffer Brothers had already begun planning a potential third season, saying, "We are not gonna be caught off guard and we don't wanna be making stuff up like the day before we have to write it and make it, so we are definitely optimistic and we have started thinking ahead." [23] The Duffer Brothers anticipate having about four to five seasons to work with, but do want to "have a really finite ending" while the series is still at a height of success, according to Matt, rather than letting it draw out indefinitely. [24] In August 2017, the Duffer Brothers confirmed there would be a third season, with the likelihood of one more season following that, with Ross saying, "We're thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out". [25] However, executive producer Shawn Levy later suggested that either four or five total seasons were possibilities, claiming that "the truth is, we're definitely going four seasons and there's very much the possibility of a fifth. Beyond that, it becomes, I think, very unlikely." [26] Matt Duffer later commented that no official decision has been made, claiming that "It's hard, like four seems short, five seems long. So I don't know what to do." [27] In December 2017, Netflix officially confirmed that they had green lit the third season, [28] consisting of eight episodes. Levy also confirmed that a fourth season was "definitely happening" and that there was potential for a fifth season. [29] A year later, the episode titles for season three were revealed, along with confirming the season would be named Stranger Things 3, similar to the second season.

The early pitch documents for the season featured a scene that had the Mind Flayer monster rampaging through the Hawkins Fourth of July Parade, but the idea was later scrapped as the scripts were written. [36] Casting [ edit ]Mayor Larry Kline kinda acts like an even skeevier version of the mayor from Jaws, doesn’t he? The Jawsmayor’s name was even LARRY VAUGHN. And although the casting of Cary Elwes (like Matthew Modine and Sean Astin in earlier seasons) is meant to evoke ‘80s nostalgia for The Princess Bride, that movie didn’t come out until 1987. The effect still works, though. Mike and Nancy’s mother, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) is especially taken by Billy in his swim shorts. We’ve already seen that happen occasionally before: the divisive episode ‘The Lost Sister’ from Season 2 saw Eleven branch out and hang out with fellow telekinetic wonder Kali – AKA Eight. Chances are this was an important step to establishing a storyline outside the show’s usual setting of Hawkins, Indiana. It would be really easy to turn Billy’s musical tastes into just some half-assed hair metal nonsense, but instead, dude has a poster for Tank’s debut album Filth Hounds of Hades on his wall. Respect. There is also a Breakfast Club(1985) poster at the video store, which is fast work for ‘80s VHS given it opened on Feb. 15, 1985.

Trees moving in the distance that only the little girl mentions feels like a broad reference to the Jurassic Park movies, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, in particular.

The inclusion of Jake Busey just has to be a nod to Gary Busey, who was doing his “best work” in the ‘80s, right?
