ATLANTA (FOX 5 Atlanta) - The long-awaited premiere of Season 3 of the Netflix drama "Stranger Things" is being released Thursday to help fill the long Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The 80s-inspired horror show now takes place in 1985 when Microsoft released Windows 1 and Coca-Cola debuted New Coke.
If the trailers are telling the truth, this season tackles the early teen years of Eleven tackling all the angst, young love, and middle-school summers which only suburban pools and malls can fill. And of course… monsters.
