It'll be awhile before Stranger Things fans can return to the Upside Down, but while we're all anxiously waiting for Season 3 to premiere, here's a rundown of what we know is coming up on Netflix's supernatural hit:

《怪奇物语》的粉丝们还得多等等才能再次看到逆世界，不过虽然第三季依旧让我们等得很焦急，我们现在实际上已经知道Netflix这部超自然热播剧的一些情报了，下面就来盘点一下：

1.It will premiere in 2019. Stranger Things was renewed for Season 3 way back in December 2017, and production kicked off back in April 2018, but the new season isn't expected to drop until the summer of 2019.

第一：这一季会在2019年开播。《怪奇物语》的第三季早在2017年的12月就续订了，并且已经在2018年的4月开拍了，只不过新的一季得到2019年的夏天才能开播。

2.It will be set a year later. Season 3 will be set in 1985, which is the same year that Back to the Future dropped. The movie is expected to be one of the big pop culture influences for the new season and has already been given a major nod in the clocktower shot that opens the season's teaser video.

第二：剧情会发生在上一季的一年之后。第三季到的时间点是1985年，也就是《回到未来》首映的那一年。这部电影预计会是新一季中很重要的一个流行符号，而且这一季预告片开场时的那个计时塔已经证实了这一点。

3.More Erica! We'll be seeing a lot more of Lucas' precocious little sister Erica in Season 3. And this time, she and a group of her friends will take center stage to protect the residents of Hawkins from an ominous new threat.

第三：Erica会再次出场！我们在第三季会继续看到Lucas的宝贝妹妹Erica。这一次，她和她的一些朋友将会成为主要角色，她们将在一个不祥的新威胁之下保护霍金斯镇的居民们。

4.A new threat. Although the Mind Flayer is expected to make a comeback in the new seasons, there will also be a new danger in Season 3 that the Duffer Brothers have only described as "unexpected." 

第四：一个全新的威胁。虽然夺心魔预计会在本季回归，但是除了它之外第三季还会出现一个新危险，导演Duffer兄弟说它会是“始料未及的”。

5.A return to form. Stranger Things' third season will slim back down to original size, as the new season will consist of eight episodes from Season 2's nine.

第五：返璞归真。《怪奇物语》的第三季将会缩减回原本的篇幅，这一季只会有8集，而不是像第二季一样有9集。

6.The episode titles. Season 3's episodes will be called "Suzie, Do You Copy?," "The Mall Rats," "The Case of the Missing Lifeguard," "The Sauna Test," "The Source," "The Birthday," "The Bite" and "The Battle of Starcourt." 

第六：第三季各集的标题已经确定了，分别叫“苏西，听到了吗？”“商场里的老鼠”“失踪救生员事件”“桑拿测试”“源头”“生日”“咬一口”以及“星庭之战”。
