Writing
Writing for the third season began before the second season's premiere, with a good portion being written in twelve-to-fourteen hours bouts by the series' creators.[1] It was reported that Netflix wanted both the third and fourth seasons to be written simultaneously as to facilitate a back-to-back production schedule, for the actors were aging faster than their on-screen characters, but both the Duffer Brothers and producer Shawn Levy optioned to focus only on the third season to ensure it was more well-developed and fleshed out.[2]
Casting
In March 2018, it was announced that Priah Ferguson's character had been promoted to a recurring role, and that Maya Hawke has been cast as Robin, a new lead who's been described as an "alternative girl."[3] Hawke's character was later revealed to be Steve's co-worker at the Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlor in the newly-built Starcourt Mall.[4] Cary Elwes and Jake Busey's castings were announced in April 2018; Elwes was cast as Mayor Kline, a " classic ’80s politician – more concerned with his own image than with the people of the small town he governs," and Busey as Bruce, a shifty reporter who works at The Hawkins Post.[5] Francesca Reale was cast as Heather, a popular lifegaurd at the community pool.[6] As of September 2018, casting had still not been completed for the season, which at that point had been shooting for five months and was less than two months from completion. Carmen Cuba, the show's casting director, had attributed the slower-than-usual casting process to the heightened secrecy of the plot paired with certain roles' shifting characterizations and importance.[7]
