There’s also a brief teaser which accompanied the announcement, featuring a throwback footage of Dick Clark’s 1985 New Year’s count down. The video broadcast slowly turns upside down as the fireworks explode and gets interrupted by choppy tv intermissions with creepy computer messages such as “when blue and yellow meet in the west” and “SilverCatFeeds.”

Recently in early December, Netflix release the season’s episode titles, though not a lot about the plot has been revealed so far.

The series is a huge breakout success for the streaming giant. Set in fictitious Hawkins, Indiana, with season 3 set one year after the events of season two and, according to David Harbour, is said to be influenced by the 1985 action-comedy Fletch.

“Suzie, Do You Copy?”, “The Mall Rats,” “The Case of the Missing Life Guard,” “The Sauna Test,” “The Source,” “The Birthday,” “The Bite,” and “The Battle of Starcourt.”

The third season is said to be set in the summer of 1985, one year after the events of season two , and, according to David Harbour, is said to be influenced by the 1985 action-comedy Fletch.

You can then speculate what could possibly make an appearance during the season and music played in the airwaves during that time.

Set in fictitious Hawkins, Indiana, the series is a huge breakout success for the streaming giant.

But fans will have to wait a bit longer because unlike season 2 which premiered in the fall, the third season is said to play in summer of 2019. The first two seasons of “Stranger Things” are currently available to stream on Netflix.

By Creative Media Times

As Netflix’s The Witcher series began filming, a first look at its lead Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia has been released.

The 23 second screen test clip features Cavill in character costume looking serious and intense, sporting long, white hair that is partly pony-tailed on the back, and then eventually sipping from a potion bottle.

The news that Cavill will be playing the lead role of Geralt of Rivia was revealed last September. “The Witcher” is a fantasy series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

Geralt is the titular Witcher in the short stories, novels and video games which takes place in medieval fantasy setting. He is one of the last witchers, a trained monster slayer for hire to slay deadly monstrous beasts.

Cavill recently played a CIA assassin in this summer’s blockbuster hit Mission: Impossible – Fallout starting Tom Cruise. He also portrayed Superman in WB/DC Comics’, Batman v Superman and Justice League.

“The Witcher” is expected to premiere in 2019 on Netflix.
