The new “Stranger Things” teaser called “Summer in Hawkins” shows the maturity of the characters for season 3. It’s called “Summer in Hawkins”.. The Atlanta-filmed series has been a runaway hit on Netflix.
The third installment is due to be released on July 4, 2019 and we can’t wait.
Watch new ‘Stranger Things 3’ teaser
In the new teaser, we see the individuality of the main cast as things get surreal in the small town of Hawkins. It’s summertime and young and old alike are having a good time. But things get strange and…. stranger things.
“Stranger Things 3” began production months ago. Back again on screen are Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp and Winona Ryder. But new faces will include Jake Busey and Cary Elwes.
The actors all received huge raises before season 3: Young actors Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp will each make $250,000 per episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Teenage actors Natalia Dyer, Joe Keery, and Charlie Heaton will now make $150,000.
Will it be worth it? If “Stranger Things 3” can keep the mystery going and keep audiences guessing, then yes indeed.
