Meanwhile, David Harbour has teased that the final episode of Season Three will take things to an extremely emotional level. Mayor Larry Kline kinda acts like an even skeevier version of the mayor from Jaws, doesn’t he? The Jawsmayor’s name was even LARRY VAUGHN. And although the casting of Cary Elwes (like Matthew Modine and Sean Astin in earlier seasons) is meant to evoke ‘80s nostalgia for The Princess Bride, that movie didn’t come out until 1987.

Speaking during the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills last July, Cindy Holland, VP of Netflix’s original content, explained: “It’s a handcrafted show. The Duffer brothers and Shawn Levy have worked really hard, and they understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than what they did last year.
