While it's still unknown exactly when Stranger Things will return for its third season on Netflix, the show released a new faux commercial for the Starcourt Mall today, revealing what looks to be a primary new location as well as a potential release date window for season 3.
Brimming with ’80s nostalgia, the Starcourt Mall includes the Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor where Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) work. No other familiar faces from the series are featured in the video, but you can see an extensive look at the mall in the faux commercial, and it looks like it will be a fun place for fans (and maybe even demo-dogs) to explore in the new season.
While we're still waiting to find out when Stranger Things will return, the faux commercial points out that the Starcourt Mall will open in the summer of 1985, which could mean that the show itself will premiere its new season in the summer of 2019. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates, and as Robin Sparkles might say, "Let's go to the mall" in the video below!
"Coming to Hawkins in the Summer of 1985...the Starcourt Mall! Starcourt Mall will be one of the finest shopping facilities in America and beyond with options for the entire family. Including The Gap, Waldenbooks, Sam Goody, Claire's and more! Don't forget to cool off at Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream shop. Starcourt Mall has it all!"
