The team behind the popular Netflix show ā€œStranger Thingsā€ used the final moments of 2018 to build anticipation for episodes of the series to be released in 2019.

A new teaser video for the showā€™s third season was released just before midnight EST.

Most of the teaser consists of actual footage of the ā€œDick Clarkā€™s Rockinā€™ New Yearā€™s Eveā€ telecast that counted down to the end of 1984, interspersed with brief, mysterious interruptions ā€“ including one that distorts the screen just as midnight arrives on the broadcast.

ā€œStranger Thingsā€ fans have been hard at work attempting to crack some of the cryptic clues contained in the nearly four-minute-long video. In one of the more obvious hints, the phrase ā€œOne summer can change everythingā€ lingers on the screen for several seconds.

The teaser also contains a commercial for the Starcourt Mall, a setting which is expected to play a major role in the upcoming season.

The third season of ā€œStranger Thingsā€ will be set in the summer of 1985. It will be released July 4.
