Netflix has officially confirmed that season 3 of Stranger Things will premiere in the summer of 2019. So why the long wait?
“It’s a handcrafted show,” VP of Original Content, Cindy Holland said. “The Duffer brothers and Shawn Levy have worked really hard, and they understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than what they did last year. And so they really want to take the time to get it right.”
There are more special effects this season as well so that’s another reason for the delay. Season 2 premiered in October of 2017 so that will make for a nearly two-year wait in between seasons.
The Duffer brothers had indicated in interviews that they can’t subject the kids at the center of the series to life-and-death battles with supernatural forces too many times. While an end date has not be revealed, it was confirmed that conversations had started about how and when the show will end.
