WHAT IT'S ABOUT: A mall has come to Hawkins, Ind., but there's something strange about this shiny new establishment, packed with shiny new stores _ real, recognizable ones, in fact. Or is that strange "something" what lies beneath? The mall is a magnet for the gang _ Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and Max (Sadie Sink). Lucas' wiseacre little sister, Erica (newcomer Priah Ferguson), is one of the mall rats, too. Meanwhile, Billy (Dacre Montgomery) is pool lifeguard, and still, surprise, conceited.
Oh, and speaking of magnets and rats _ real ones _ they're behaving strangely in Hawkins.
This third season begins late June 1985 and wraps a few days later, on July 4.
