'Stranger Things': The Duffer Brothers On What's In Store For Season 3

If you’re not up to date on “Stranger Things,” consider this your fair warningspoilers ahead.

It almost seemed wrong asking the Duffer Brothers what their plans for Season 3 were when “Stranger Things” Season 2 was still so new, but with an ominous ending shot that tilted from a charming school dance to a still very-present Upside Down, we couldn’t help but wonder what was in store for the perpetually unlucky residents of Hawkins, Ind.

“We have an end goal; we know where we want to go,” Ross Duffer told us. “We’re not quite sure how long it will take to get there, but we do have a plan.

Even the latest trailer, we had to loop a line with [Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas]. He sounds like a man now. It creeps me out. He’s going to be driving to set next year.”

“It seems very wrong,” Matt Duffer chimed in. “The minute I see Caleb drive up, I’m probably going to pass out.”

“Stranger Things” is streaming now on Netflix.
