- Season 3 will take place in July of 1985, six months after the events of Stranger Things Season 2.
- Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home” plays on the boombox; the track was released in 1985.
- We get our first look at Cary Elwes as the Mayor of Hawkins, IN; his re-election sign looks a lot like Donald Trump’s design.
- We also get our first looks at Maya Hawke, who plays a high school student, and Jake Busey, who plays a reporter.
- Dustin attacks Lucas using the Farrah Fawcett hairspray Steve gave him in Season 2.
- Lucas’s sister Erika is in quite a few shots, hinting at a larger role for the character in Season 3.
- The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” plays for most of the trailer. While it’s not a song of the era, the refrain (“Teenage Wasteland”) describes the state of adolescence most of our main characters have now entered.
- All of the older kids have summer jobs, either at the mall or at The Hawkins Post.
- Billy is a lifeguard at the pool. An upcoming episode is titled “The Case of the Missing Lifeguard” so don’t get too attached to him.
- Much of Season 3 will probably take place at the “new” Starcourt Mall.
- A carnival called “The Fun Fair” will feature prominently.
- Eleven is still wearing the blue hair-tie/bracelet Hopper gave her in Season 2; she also appears to end up back in “The Upside-Down”.
- We see Eleven near a freezer of Ego Waffles, a running gag in Stranger Things.
- Eleven is wearing a yellow shirt by the blue sea. An earlier teaser included the phrase “When blue and yellow meet in the west”.
- We get a look at the new season’s monster and can begin to ponder which creature from Dungeons & Dragons it will be named after.
- A swarm of rats may imply an impending epidemic.
