Where season two left off: The Mind Flayer, an all-powerful force from the Upside Down, infiltrated Hawkins by taking possession over young Will Byers (Noah Schnapp). The only way to protect him and the rest of the town from a full-on takeover: Eleven, who leveled up her powers by traveling to Chicago, meeting a similarly super-powered friend, and returning with increased mastery over her skills. Eleven sealed the gate between Hawkins and the Upside Down, seemingly ending the threat once and for all. Beyond the epic victory, several characters underwent significant personal shifts: Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) started dating Max (Sadie Sink), the new kid in school; Mike (Finn Wolfhard) and Eleven solidified their young romance; Eleven has been authorized to step out of the shadows and into society; the Hawkins Lab group has been destroyed; Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) loved and lost, forced to watch her boyfriend Bob (Sean Astin) die at the maws of so many "demodogs" from the Upside Down; Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Steve Harrington (Joe Keery) became best friends; Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer) became an item, thanks to some questionable prodding by conspiracy-minded Murray (Brett Gelman); and of course, the Mind Flayer is still at large, last seen towering over Hawkins in the season two finale's final image.
Where season three begins: Time has passed since the Mind Flayer's loss, but not as much as passed in real time. Season two took place a full year after season one; season three takes place half a year after season two, despite the year and a half gap between release on Netflix.
The top secret story: Beyond the temporal setting, it's hard to speak exactly about the season three storyline, so perhaps it's best to take the official word from the streamer itself. Here's the story, according to Netflix: "It's 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana, and summer's heating up. School's out, there's a brand new mall in town, and the Hawkins crew are on the cusp of adulthood. Romance blossoms and complicates the group's dynamic, and they'll have to figure out how to grow up without growing apart. Meanwhile, danger looms. When the town's threatened by enemies old and new, Eleven and her friends are reminded that evil never ends; it evolves. Now they'll have to band together to survive and remember that friendship is always stronger than fear."
New episode titles: Ahead of the season, Netflix released a video teasing the names of the eight new episodes in season three, as has become the Stranger Things tradition since the first season. Those titles, according to Netflix:
• Chapter 1: "Suzie, Do You Copy?"
• Chapter 2: "The Mall Rats"
• Chapter 3: "The Case of the Missing Lifeguard"
• Chapter 4: "The Sauna Test"
• Chapter 5: "The Source"
• Chapter 6: "The Birthday"
• Chapter 7: "The Bite"
• Chapter 8: "The Battle of Starcourt"

How to watch
Get yourself a Netflix subscription. Stranger Things is a jewel in the service's crown of original series, and it's the best way to ensure you get all the new episodes plus access to the first two seasons.
Not sure Netflix is worth it to you? The service offers a free one-month trial, so if you sign up close to the new season's premiere you can soak up the new season and both previous years, then cancel your membership without cost. But we're expecting two more seasons of the show, so you might have to sign up again later on (or find a Netflix-subscribing friend who'll invite you over)
