Stranger Things season 3 teaser reveals ultra-'80s new location

Stranger Things season 3 is venturing into new territory, though not too far from home.

The latest teaser for the hit Netflix show centres on a new setting, Starcourt Mall, thanks to a delightfully retro, ‘80s-style fake commercial highlighting all the delights on offer. The Gap! A food court! Sam Goody! A large fountain! 

It also gives us a glimpse at what Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) is up to; namely, working in an ice cream store called Scoops Ahoy, alongside new character Robin (Maya Hawke). 

And, from Steve’s expression, it looks like he might not be particularly thrilled about his most recent employment. 

Producer Shawn Levy has already promised that the fan-favourite character will have a bigger role in the next season


"We'll definitely get to see some more of Steve Harrington in season three, and I'll just say we won't be abandoning the Dad Steve magic. I don't want to say much more, but I literally feel that we were walking along and we stumbled onto a gold mine with Dad Steve," he told the audience at an LA event.
