Netflix feeds our 'Stranger Things' obsession with a teasing look at Season 3
We don't know when it's coming, but work has officially begun.
Netflix kicked off the Stranger Things Season 3 hype campaign on Friday with a peek behind the scenes. The minute-and-a-half long video confirms that cast members got together April 20 for what looks like the first table read of the new season.
No clips yet. They haven't even started shooting, apparently. That's the next step.

The black and white video is heavy on synth-infused music and atmosphere, but short on actual humans doing their jobs. We see actor names listed on placecards, notably series newcomers like Maya Hawke, Cary Elwes, and Jake Busey.
If there's any hint to be pulled from this video -- and calling it a "hint" may be a stretch -- it's in the video's final shot, which also provides the inspiration for the text in the accompanying tweet: "Back at it, nerds."
The command is uttered by Priah Ferguson, the actor who plays Erica Sinclair, sister to Lucas. Erica memorably debuted in Season 2 with a sassy, anti-nerd attitude that immediately helped to salve Stranger Things fandom's unfulfilled Barb obsession.
It had already been confirmed that Ferguson's role would be upgraded to "recurring" status for Season 3. Her appearance at the end of this tease suggests she may have a bigger role in the coming events than we realize.
