Stranger Things 3 release epic, action-packed trailer

“You let us in… and now... you are going to have to let us stay.” That's the ominous threat that we hear from the new big bad in the third series of Netflix's wildly popular sci-fi show Stranger Things.

The new, eight-episode series arrives on 4 July, and judging by this latest trailer, it looks more action-packed than anything we've seen from the show before. The promo heavily hints at who the new host is for the latest creature from The Upside Down, the dark parallel universe that opened up in the sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana in the first series. We also see clips of the show's heroic teen ensemble – Eleven, Will, Lucas and co – getting tooled up to take on this dark, evil force in an epic showdown in Hawkins' brand new shopping mall. "No matter what happens, we have to stop him... together," says Finn Wolfhard's Mike.

It's not going to be easy though: "We're going to end you," threatens the new baddie.
