Stranger Things season 3 (marketed as “Stranger Things 3”) was released worldwide on Netflix on July 4, 2019.

Quick Scoop

  • Release date: July 4, 2019, timed with U.S. Independence Day.
  • Platform: Dropped all at once on Netflix as a binge-ready season.
  • Episodes: The season consists of eight episodes set in the summer of 1985 in Hawkins, Indiana.

Extra context

The marketing heavily leaned into the Fourth of July vibe, with teasers and the story itself built around the 1985 holiday period. The new Starcourt Mall and a more colorful, summery aesthetic helped distinguish season 3 from the earlier, moodier fall-set seasons while still continuing the Mind Flayer storyline.
