The first trailer for Stranger Things season 3 is now live, and summer can't arrive quick enough.

The trailer features a fantastic soundtrack as we've come to expect from the Netflix sci-fi drama, with bursts of Motley Crue's 'Home Sweet Home' and a remix of The Who's 'Baba O'Riley' aka 'Teenage Wasteland'.

The Emmy-nominated series will return for a third season this summer, and will catch up in the mid-1980s.
