As you can see in the lower right hand corner, the release date isOctober 27. Don’t let the French text below the title fool you. It’s just that Premiere, a French magazine, had the higher quality image. If you check out the American version at NME, you’ll see the release date is exactly the same, and it says “A Netflix Original Series” in English instead of French.
I absolutely love the imagery here, especially the colors. As for the monster in the sky, well, that’s the same one that was shown briefly in the first teaser trailer for the second season thatdebuted during the Super Bowl earlier this year. We had our own theory as to what that monster might bein our trailer breakdown, but we’ve yet to get any confirmation one way or the other.
Stranger Thingswill have a big presence at San Diego Comic-Con next week with a panel happening in Hall H on on Saturday, July 22. We’ll be there to see what happens, but fans should expect a brand new trailer for the show as well as some revelations from whichever cast members are in attendance for the panel.
