For anyone who wasn’t already aware, today is Stranger Things Day. And to mark the occasion, Netflix has released a pair of videos of some of the best bloopers from season two and season three.

In the videos, which run about two and four minutes in length, you’ll see the usual blooper reel goodies, such as cast members randomly breaking out into song and/or dance, plenty of issues delivering lines, and more.

For anyone who missed the news, Netflix has made the unsurprising announcement that Stranger Things season four is officially a go.

The announcement was made with the release of a brief video, which can be found below. In addition to confirming season four, Netflix has also announced that they’ve signed Stranger Things creators and showrunners Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer to a new multi-year overall deal which will include both series and films.

Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds
Hardcover | Kindle | Paperback | Audiobook
Stranger Things, Book 1
Written by Gwenda Bond
Publisher: Del Rey
Release date: February 5, 2019

Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds is the first official book to be published that’s set in the fictional world of early 1980s Hawkins, Indiana, from Netflix’s Stranger Things and features some of the characters we have come to know and love from the three seasons of the hit streaming series.

But for this story, we travel a bit further back. To 1969, in fact. This is when Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine’s character) and his young ward, Kali (or “008” as we’ve come to know her), arrive at Hawkins National Laboratory to expand upon his experiments on the human mind. To aid in his tests, he recruits four college-aged kids chosen because of promising capabilities they’ve displayed.

Stranger Things: Darkness on the Edge of Town

I freaking love the Stranger Things franchise! The nostalgia, the horror, the Dungeons & Dragons references, I just love it all. So I jumped when this tie-in book to the television series came up for review. Stranger Things: Darkness on the Edge of Town is the second official novel to be released and it is probably destined to be a fan favorite since it is all about Jim Hopper. In fact, this dives head first into his time as a New York detective. Curious? So was I!

The year was 1977 and New York City was suffering as it was one hot summer. Add to that the ongoing danger that was Son of Sam and you can only begin to imagine the fog of terror that surrounded all those living within. The reader is given the chance to see Hopper and his family, at relative peace with the world, struggling like any young couple with a small child would. The story starts off quite mundane and relatable. In fact, Hopper is only a fraction as intense and anxious as he will one day become. I have no doubt the events in this story helped elevate his issues.

The long-awaited season three of Netflix’s Stranger Things is just a couple of short weeks away now.

With its arrival quickly approaching, Netflix has now released the final trailer for the new season. You can find descriptions of all three seasons and check out the final trailer below.

A new promo for Stranger Things season three titled “Summer in Hawkins” was released by Netflix earlier this week.

The new promo is basically a Stranger Things homage to ’80s classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High set during a hot summer day at the Hawkins public pool. Click on over to the other side to check out the video.

Netflix has released an official trailer for Stranger Things season three.

The trailer is much longer than the teasers we’ve seen in the past, running nearly three minutes in length, and it has been released just a little over three months from the long-awaited new season finally making its way to our eager eyes.

You can find a quick refresher on the first two seasons of Stranger Things and, more importantly, dive into the official trailer for season three of the show below.

In case you missed it, Netflix revealed the premiere date for the long-awaited third season of Stranger Things yesterday.

The season three release date was announced with a date announcement video and a new poster. Click on over to the other side to find the release date along with the new video and poster, if you haven’t already seen them.

When it comes to the teaser trailers for Stranger Things, you can expect to see… nothing. But that is purely by design. The teaser trailers do reveal something, though: episode titles. And these titles will leave us speculating on what we will see and how they serve as a device to move the show forward. Now, Netflix is giving us our first look at those titles for Season 3, a lot of which has to do with what we have seen and heard in the past, which includes more references to the ’80s. Check out the titles and the trailer here below.
