In case you've been chillin' in the Upside Down and missed the news, the official trailer for Stranger Things season three [1] has arrived, and it's quite a doozy. The fast-paced teaser is jam-packed with clues about what's in store for the Hawkins, IN, crew [2]. After Mike Wheeler and Eleven share a smooch, we see resident tool bag Billy Hargove fully embracing his shirtless [3] lifeguarding duties, Will Byers mysteriously drenched in sweat, Hopper hunting down a random assassin, and a terrifying new monster coming to life [4]. But perhaps the most striking frames of them all showed douchebag-turned-protector-of-six-kids Steve Harrington getting ganged up on — yet again.
Though Steve is initially happy as can be at his new job in the Starcourt Mall [5], the trailer soon shows him in anguish as his face is bloodied and he's later injected with a needle of an unknown source. This isn't the first time the Stranger Things [6] heartthrob has gotten the sh*t end of the stick during the series — remember when he was clocked in his pretty little face by Jonathan Byers and head-butted WWE style by Billy? — but it was certainly the last straw for viewers. As soon as the ominous trailer dropped, fans practically began readying their pitchforks and "Justice For Steve" signs in preparation for a riot as theories of the heartthrob dying this season swirled.
Catch a glimpse at all the relatable fan reactions ahead, and, dearest Netflix, please don't take Steve and his luscious hair away from us.
