The Duffer Brothers tease what’s happening in Hawkins for Stranger Things 3
Stranger Things 3
Before the third installment of Netflix's '80s homage drops on July 4, series creators Ross and Matt Duffer tease storylines for all of the imperiled citizens of Hawkins, Indiana. "Summer is in full swing," explains Ross Duffer. "With no school and no homework, our kids are having the time of their lives, swimming at the local pool and shopping at a fancy new mega mall called Starcourt. But beneath the surface, evil is lurking in Hawkins — and it’s coming for them all."

"Billy is now a popular lifeguard at the Hawkins Pool but he will soon find himself pulled into a never-ending nightmare," says Matt Duffer. "This season is a major one for Billy — he really takes center stage this year, and we can’t wait for people to see Dacre’s performance."

Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer)
"Jonathan and Nancy have a summer internship at the local paper," says Matt Duffer. "Working together strains their relationship — are they really meant to be together?"

Robin (Maya Hawke), Steve (Joe Keery), and Dustin
"Robin is a high school band nerd who works with Steve at the mall’s cheesy ice cream shop," says Matt Duffer." This is definitely not the type of girl Steve would normally ever spend time with, but now, well, he has no choice."
