Stranger Things Announces July 4th Return Date in New Year's Teaser

At the stroke of midnight, our calendar pages flipped to 2019 and Netflix wasted literally no time revealing the premiere date for the next season of Stranger Things with an announcement teaser trailer showing a countdown of its own. The teaser features a number of small hints at what may be to come, also revealing its tagline, "One summer can change everything."

With a focus on the summer of '85, a 4th of July theme all around, and a release date on that very same holiday, it seems apparent that some big events are set to take place around Independence Day in Hawkins, Indiana. We definitely enjoy the Starcourt Mall reference in the teaser as well, which is a location that has come up quite a few times since the new season's announcement.

Stranger Things will return with its third season, titled Stranger Things 3, on July 4th, 2019. You can check out the new poster for the season below and be sure to stay tuned for all of the latest updates on the show right here on Dead Entertainment.
