Netflix announces Stranger Things 3 has officially started filming by way of releasing a short behind-the-scenes video depicting the cast and crew getting together to read the new scripts. Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Things has morphed into one of Netflix’s most popular and acclaimed original series, earning a passionate following thanks to its nostalgic tone and memorable characters. Ever since the second season wrapped up last year, fans have been eager to return to Hawkins, where our heroes will do battle against a new evil force.

Over the past few month, Netflix has been gearing up for production on the third season, recruiting a few new cast members, while giving the returning stars substantial pay raises. With all the pieces in place, the only left to do was start rolling the cameras, and now work has begun on the next batch of episodes. You can check out the video in the space above.
