Everything We Know About Stranger Things Season 3, From the Premiere Date to the Cast

Of all the things the show can accommodate with its vast and complex mythology, there's one thing production can't ignore: the fact that its stars are growing up, and fast. To compensate for the rapidly aging kid cast, there will be another time jump for season three.

Levy revealed the details of the jump on the red carpet of LA's annual Paleyfest in April 2018, explaining that the new season will be set in the Summer of 1985, which means seven to nine months will have passed since the events of season two. He also noted that season three will take inspiration from Back to the Future, which came out that Summer.
