Two rock classics soundtrack the Stranger Things season 3 trailer - watch
It returns in July
Last updated 20th Mar 2019
Songs by Mötley Crüe and The Who have been used to score the trailer to the upcoming third season of Stranger Things.
The trailer, which debuted this afternoon (20th March), opens to the sounds of Mötley Crüe’s 1985 song ‘Home Sweet Home’ before a reworked version of The Who’s 1971 classic ‘Baba O'Riley’ starts playing as the trailer takes a more sinister turn.
Watch it in all its glory here:
Set in the 1980s, the third season of supernatural drama Stranger Things will premiere exclusively on Netflix on Thursday 4th July.
The inclusion of Mötley Crüe’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ in the trailer in particular could be seen as a shrewd bit of advertising by Netflix – the band’s long-awaited biopic The Dirt is set to premiere on the streaming service this Friday (22nd March).
A true cultural phenomenon, Stranger Things follows the residents of a small Indiana town in the aftermath of a boy's mysterious disappearance.
