While it has been nearly a year and a half since the last season of Stranger Things premiered, according to star Natalia Dyer, the wait for Season 3 will be well worth it.While promoting her latest film, Velvet Buzzsaw, at Sundance Film Festival, Dyer briefly spoke about the upcoming season, promising it will be bigger, darker and scarier than the previous two seasons.RELATED: Stranger Things Producers to Resurrect Unsolved Mysteries at Netflix
"It does feel bigger, just filming it," explained Dyer in an interview with MTV. "I havenât seen any of it, but it does feel bigger, darker, scarier. It felt like they noticeably bumped it up to a different level this season. So Iâm excited to see it, too. I donât know how they do it, [creators] the [Duffer] brothers, but yeah, Iâm excited."
This lines up with previous comments by executive producer Shawn Levy who claimed that Season 3 will be "darker and more action-packed" than the preceding seasons. The third season had wrapped principal photography this past November for a July premiere.
