Unplug the Atari, switch off the boob tube, and chuck your walkman across the room–there’s a new Stranger Things trailer out in the wild and you gotta catch it! It’s been way too long since we hung out with the kids and monsters of Hawkins, so this trailer is basically giving all of us ST fans life right now. It definitely doesn’t hurt that the clip is packed with so much fast-paced content, taking it all in might just make your nose bleed, Eleven-style. That’s where we come in!
After scouring the trailer in slow-mo, we’ve isolated the 26 moments that made us go “hmmm,” “huh?” and “whoah!” New characters! New monsters! Old faves with totally glammed up makeovers! This is what we’ve been waiting for, and you better believe we’re gonna savor every second of this trailer until the new season drops on July 4. You ready? Let’s jump into the deep end!
Dustin's got a new Dart–and this one won't try to kill him!
It is wild seeing a 'Star Wars' toy used in a non 'Star Wars' context.
Nancy and Jonathan are now 42 years old.
Bully Billy's a lifeguard. That's... gonna go... well.
These kids have grown up so much in just a year!
If 'Stranger Things' Season 3 leads to a resurgence of mall culture, I am HERE FOR IT.
A mall AND a fair?! This Mayor Kline has to be a good guy!
Hopper is living his Magnum P.I. fantasy.
The least fun you can have in a hall of mirrors.
Billy's got a scary skin condition.
'Stranger Things' Season 3 serving you sizzling 'Sandman Mystery Theatre' realness!
This reference is too obscure, isn’t it?
Yaaaaas, Lucas' little sister Erica gets a 'Die Hard' moment!!
Strangers Assemble!
That’s what we call the Stranger Things kids, right? The Strangers?
Cary Elwes here as Mayor Kline, a guy who is definitely not evil.
Here's Jake Busey's new character Bruce, and, uh, he's... uh yikes.
Bruce, BTW, is described as a journalist for the Hawkins Post, which we see an establishing shot of earlier in the trailer.
Love that Eleven's getting into Eggo yoga in Season 3.
As if monsters aren't enough, here comes a dang Terminator.
Eleven and Max getting glamour shots. This is everything the show's been building towards.
Here's Francesca Reale's Heather and, maybe her mom?
Heather is apparently another lifeguard, meaning she has to put up with Billy, which means she has my deepest sympathies.
Just don't mess up Steve's hair.
And here's Mrs. Wheeler having a MILF-y moment with Billy, which is a no from us, dawg.
Eleven's getting back into that sensory deprivation gig!
Brett Gelman's back as conspiracy theorist Murray!
Eleven's basically wearing an X-Men uniform here.
The Stranger Things/X-Men connection is real!
Um, y'know, the Demogorgon wasn't so bad.
At least Steve and Dustin are still buds, and Maya Hawke's Robin is not impressed
