Netflix just gave fans a first glimpse at season three of Stranger Things with a clip showing the inside of a new neon-lit mall in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. The promo is scarily on point to a real ’80s advertisement too for the Starcourt Mall, and fans are left to question WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??
The promo announces that Hawkin's is "taking another step into the future" but no other details are revealed about the show's main plot line. Familiar name brands that are a blast from the past: Waldenbrooks, Sam Goody, and the Gap, are all shown in the teaser, too.
Lastly we see Steve Harrington a.k.a. Joe Keery working in the Starcourt Food Court at an ice cream shop called Scoops Ahoy. He's seen beside a new character named Robin played by Maya Hawke, both in a little sailor outfits.
There's no doubt malls just like this one were actually big hubs for teens of suburbia to hang at in the 80s. Only time will tell what's going to go down there in the third season of the sci-fi drama for Mike, Will, Dusty, Lucas and the rest of the gang. Is it next summer yet?
