It&#039;s not going to be long before Stranger Things season 4 drops. So here&#039;s a timeline of what all happened in the series previously.

&#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Recap: Here’s a Trip Down Memory Lane to Get You Ready for Season 4

The Duffer Brothers’ sci-fi adventure series, Stranger Things is finally coming
back to the screens on May 27. The supersized season is divided into two parts
with the second batch of episodes dropping on July 1. 

Since the series is returning after more than two years, we just wanted to fill
the gap in your memory.  


CHANGING GROUP DYNAMICS 

The gang is still together but little changes have taken place. Eleven and Mike
are dating much to the chagrin of Hopper. Will still wants to play games, and
Jonathan and Nancy are working at a newspaper. Steve has a new best friend,
Robin and is working at the new Starcourt Mall. 


MINDA FLAYER POSSESSES BILLY IN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 3

Billy’s suspicious behavior raises doubts in Max and Eleven. They later find
he’s possessed by the Mind Flayer. On the other hand, while investigating
strange events at an elderly woman’s place Jonathan and Nancy find evidence of
possessed people consuming chemicals that turn them into goo—Mind Flayer’s
minions.


THE RUSSIANS’ PLAN

After intercepting a Russian signal, Dustin teams up with Erica, Robin, and
Steve to crack the code. They figure out a secret Russian lab below the
Starcourt Mall. Russians own many properties at Hawkins, even the Starcourt
Mall. They are running experiments to open the gate to the Upside Down.

Elsewhere, Joyce and Hopper start investigating the Hawkins lab after she
witnesses magnets falling off her fridge. Their investigation leads them to
discover a Russian underground lab and scientist Alexei.

fighting

the Mind Flayer and its minions. She uses the last of her powers to free Billy,
who sacrifices himself to save the gang. Meanwhile, Hopper, locked in a battle
with the Russian soldier Grigori, falls to the other side of the energy
portal.

Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] season 3 ends
