Stranger Things: Season 3 Will Be ‘Very Different’
Stranger Things: Season 3 will be "very different" from the first two seasons, according to series star Noah Schnapp.
Speaking to THR, the Will Byers actor explained the third season will have a unique vibe because it takes place during the summer in 1985.
“It’s very different this season because it’s in the summer, so you kind of get to see a different version of everyone," Schnapp said.
The actor also teased Season 3 will combine the dark elements of Season 2 and the lighter, more comedic tone of Season 1. Plus, Schnapp confirmed Lucas’ little sister Erica (Priah Ferguson) will have a larger role this third time around, as she'll have her own storyline after being bumped up to series regular.
