In July 2018, Netflix shared its third trailer season and introduced a new mall at Hawkins called Starcourt. Apparently not without reason why the mall is in the trailer. All problems present on Stranger Things 3 are sourced from this mall. Even at the end of the story, there is a fierce battle that claimed the life of one of the characters in this series.
2. A New Character
From the third season trailer released by Netflix on June 20, one new character appeared who joined Team Steve. This new character is named Robin who turns out to be Steve's co-worker at an ice cream shop in Starcourt mall. Robin himself is played by Maya Hawke, the daughter of celebrity couple Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
3. Erica Appears More
One of the most popular characters from the second season is Erica, Lucas's younger sister. Nosy character, Erica only appeared several times in the second season. It turned out that not only the audience liked Erica, but also the director who was aware of Priah Ferguson's talent, cast of Erica.
In this season, Erica also plays a role in dealing with problems that occur in the city where she lives. She who initially disliked Steve and friends because they are nerds, finally wanted to help and join them.
4. Mind Flayer is Stronger
The second season ended with the emergence of Mind Flayer in Upside Down and roamed the Hawkins school. In this third season, Mind Flayer appears again. Even this time the Mind Flayer is much stronger. This is because, Mind Flayer found a way to strengthen itself by using human organs.
5. Many Romantic Scenes
The Hawkins gang is more mature in this season. And one of the things they experience in puberty is falling in love. In this third season there are some romantic couples, such as Mike and Eleven, Max and Lucas, and Nancy and Jonathan, of course with little conflict in their relationship. There is also other young couple who is guaranteed will makes you laugh. And what is equally interesting is the closeness between Jim Hopper and Joyce Byers who often fight but there is actually a feeling between them.
