Stranger Thingsand Netflix didn’t really have a presence at Comic-Con, aside from turning a wayward bus stop into the Upside Down. But right before the big event kicked off, Netflix launched a new teaser that goes inside Hawkins' new mall, and shows Steve working at the ice cream shop. It’s a fun little teaser video that will make any 80s kid nostalgic for the mall. But then we get to the end of this sneak peek, and it’s hinted at that Season 3 may not premiere until Summer 2019. Which certainly bombed out a lot of fans.
