Here’s the synopsis from wikipedia.
In the summer of 1985 in Hawkins, the new Starcourt Mall has become the focal point of the town, driving other stores out of business.
Sheriff Jim Hopper is conflicted over Eleven and Mike’s budding relationship, while Joyce considers moving out of Hawkins for better prospects, leaving the state of the children’s friendships and her own relationship with Hopper in the air.
However, strange power fluctuations trigger Will’s awareness of something otherworldly, and Eleven and Max sense something is off about the town’s residents, and despite having closed the portal to the Upside Down, fears that they are all in danger from it still.
This season looks amazing, can’t wait to get started.
