Past situation review
The story takes place in the small town of Hawkins in 1983. The young Will mysteriously disappeared. His three friends, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, searched for him everywhere, and met a girl with super powers, Little 11.
And Will's disappearance seems to be related to this mysterious girl, Little 11...

Sheriff Hope once also lost his daughter. The two lost children formed an alliance. The investigation found that all clues pointed to the laboratory in the town...
And Mike's sister Nancy (the second from the right in the photo above) didn't care about it. She just got her new boyfriend Steve (the third from the right in the photo above) and just wanted to indulge in love.
She asked her friend Barbara (the first from the right in the photo above) to join her to her boyfriend's party, but after the party, Barbara disappeared...
She has always been uneasy, and in the process of looking for a friend, she accidentally discovered the faceless monster. This monster is not only related to the disappearance of Barbara, but also the disappearance of young Will. Into this mysterious disappearance case...
The film is divided into juvenile group, youth group, and adult group. These three branch lines do not seem to intersect, but when they converge, the plot will reach a climax.

According to the trailer, our third season has a new scene, "Starcourt Mall", a new shopping mall in town .
Retro storefronts, neon signage, movie theaters, food courts, and retro game consoles will take you back to 1985.
The title of the final episode "The Battle of Starcourt" also tells us that the final battle will definitely unfold in this shopping mall.
The Duffy brothers revealed that this season will be inspired by many classic Hollywood movies, such as Spielberg's "Jurassic Park," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "Emerald."
At the end of the second season, Xiao 11 closed the door to another world, and Will returned to normal. Everything seemed to be happy, but the crisis still existed, and there were still many foreshadowings in the story that were not explained.
About the new role
Speaking of the most distressing character in the second season , it must be Steve .
He was the one who worked the most in the youth group, but in the end he didn't get anything, his head was still green, and even his title of "campus lover" was snatched by Billy.
The "revolutionary friendship" between him and Dustin in their adventures is extremely deep, and it also forms the last two "single dog" groups left in the entire play. Steve changed from the "bully" character at the beginning to a "nanny" character, which captured the hearts of many fans.
Uncle Sam, the warmest "warm man" in the last season, received the lunch box. Will it be the "new warm man" Steve who received the lunch box this season?
In addition to the popular Steve after the whitewash, a new character Robin was also added in the third season.
She is a novel and offbeat girl with a bit of a witty and playful personality. She is tired of her usual work and longs for a little more excitement in life.
Judging from the trailer, she may join Steve and Dustin's adventure group, and there may be some emotional sparks between her and Steve, who are also wearing the sea soul couple's shirt.
On the other hand, Little 11's sister, Little 8 Carly, should also have new roles in future episodes.
According to the numbers in their hands, there are at least nine children with superpowers like them in the world, and considering the three-digit number code, there may be up to 997 more.
The second season spent an entire episode telling the story of the two of them, but there was no follow-up development, which was a bit surprising, and this foreshadowing may be used in the third season.
Although Carly and Xiao 11 have different values, whether they will form an alliance in the face of new monster threats with the same ability and similar experience is also very exciting!
Lucas' sister Erica, who appeared in the second season, will be promoted to a regular role in the third season , and she will join the adventure group on a special mission to save the town of Hawkins.
About the new boss
According to the official news, Will can finally "rest" in the third season, he will no longer be troubled by monsters from other worlds, and really return to normal. Who will be the big boss of the new season?
There's a good chance it'll be Billy .
As new characters in the second season, Billy and Max's siblings don't seem to be very thoughtful.
Max contributed to her love triangle with Lucas and Dustin, while her brother Billy replaced Steve as the new campus lover.
But is Billy's role all about that? It shouldn't be that simple.
In the neon poster of season three, we can see that everyone is standing under the colorful fireworks, except Billy, whose figure is shrouded in the shadow of the monster.
And in the trailer, Billy became a lifeguard by the pool, combining the strange things that appeared in his hands and the title of the third episode "The Missing Lifeguard Incident".
Does this mean that he will become the big boss of the new season, and will the mind flayer use his body to wreak havoc in Hawkins Town?
'This summer will change everything'
Of course, many foreshadowings about monsters in the second season have not been explained. For example, Sheriff Hope and Dustin were both infected by monsters during the investigation and decisive battle, and they are also likely to become new monsters. the "host".
Little 11 just closed the door connecting the two worlds, but as long as the door is opened again, the town of Hawkins will still be in danger.
The life and death of Dr. Brenner in the first season is also a mystery . If he is not dead, what will he do with his obsession with Little 11? Will the little 8 appear to help the little 11? These doubts are very exciting.
There are also scenes in which the characters are soaked all over the body many times in the trailer. Combined with the name of the fourth episode "The Sauna Test" (sauna test), water is likely to be an important medium connecting the two worlds.
Season three is going to be a funnier, bigger one, and we'll get closer to another world and learn more about the characters' mysterious pasts.
back to the Future
Welcome to 1985
In the third season, Hawkins Town entered 1985, the year the first episode of "Back to the Future" aired (yes, it's a tribute again). The main creator's precise manipulation of retro cultural symbols is so powerful that people can't tell whether it is a sense of age setting or advertising placement. The recurring classic food elements also make the sense of age more authentic.
What makes retro fans even more excited is that in the third quarter of this year, Coca-Cola co-branded the "New Coke" with the nostalgic formula flavor of the 1985 version.
What’s more interesting about this cooperation is that this new formula Coke was launched because the Coca-Cola Company wanted to compete with competitors to replace the traditional flavor. It is a pity that consumers did not buy it, and finally switched back to the traditional formula after 3 months, so this is a limited failure.
The official joint name this time pointed out that an upside-down vending machine will be launched and sold in designated cities in a random manner. Fans who want to try the nostalgic formula must not miss it!
