Go deeper into the groundbreaking Emmy-winning series with the complete, authorized scripts of Stranger Things: Season Three, including an exclusive introduction from the Duffer Brothers.

MAX: I don’t understand. The Demodogs died when El closed the Gate. If the brain dies, the body dies —
WILL: I know. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I’m wrong —
MIKE: But we can’t take any chances. We have to assume the worst. The Mind Flayer is back.
WILL: And if he is, he would want to attach himself to someone again. A new “me” —
LUCAS: A new “Host.”

It’s 1985 and love is in the air in Hawkins. Mike and Eleven are smooch-crazy, much to Hopper’s disgust. Dustin is back from summer camp with a girlfriend he keeps in touch with by radio transmissions. The towns’ moms are in love with shirtless lifeguard Billy; Nancy and Jonathan are a couple; and there’s romantic tension brewing between Hopper and Joyce. Meanwhile, Steve is working with a cool new friend, Robin, at an ice cream parlor in the town’s shiny new mall. Rats are mysteriously exploding around town. The Mind Flayer is possessing people, and the Russians are trying to open a new gate to the Upside Down.

Collected here for the first time, the complete scripts of Stranger Things: Season Three include the scenes, dialogue, and character directions for all eight episodes as well as an exclusive introduction from the creators and showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer. Season Three’s scripts reveal a unique insight into how the Duffers continued to build the core good-vs-evil story that captivated viewers and popular culture while adding more depth with fun new characters and intensifying relationships.
