Stranger Things Has Officially Been Confirmed For A Third Series By Netflix

It looks like we’re all about to be seeing much more of Steve’s floppy hair and Joyce’s unparalleled levels of existential dread because Netflix have just confirmed that Stranger Things has been renewed for a third season.

It was pretty much in the bag that viewers would be in for another stint of 80s nostalgia when the creators of the show - The Duffer Brothers - revealed in Variety that they already have blueprints for a fourth series in mind.

Let's all get checking out an update from MTV News...

He added: “We’ll see how long it goes. But there is a definite end to the story, which I’m excited for. We’ve already been laying out the pipework. There are Easter eggs in season one that you won’t get until season four. You’ll look back and say, ‘we’ve been seeing this story the whole time, we just haven’t realised it’. To me, that’s wonderful.”

Wonderful? Er, we think he means:
