Stranger Things Season 3 will be 'darker, more action-packed,' assures producer Shawn Levy
FirstpostAfter a supernatural demon terrorised the town of Hawkins, Indiana in Season 1 of Netflix’s hit 1980s science fiction series Stranger Things, Season 2 proved life was unlikely to return to normal for the unlikely heroes. Now, the show’s producer Shawn Levy warns that next year’s Season 3 will not just be a “summer of fun and lightness.” Though its first teaser seemed like a fun, silly commercial for Hawkins’ new Starcourt Mall, Levy said in an interview with Playlist : “That would be part of the store, but not at all representative of the season. But I can only promise you that season 3 eventually goes places that are darker, and unquestionably more action-packed, than we’ve ever gone before.” Stranger Things, which earned 18 Emmy Award nominations for its first season and 12 more for its second, became a phenomenon after its debut on Netflix last year, as viewers were drawn to the show’s 1980s throwback and the supernatural mystery haunting the small town of Hawkins. The second season — which premiered last year — too featured all the ingredients that made the series an instant sensation.
