Stranger Things
Speaking with THR, Noah “Will Byers” Schnapp revealed season three is set during the kids’ summer vacation.
It’s very different this season because it’s in the summer, so you kind of get to see a different version of everyone. It’s great because it has a lot of the dark parts from season two and a lot of the light playful parts from season one.
Cloak & Dagger
During an interview with /Film, showrunner Joe Pokaski stated “we might not ever see skeletons” inside the Dark Dimension, but weirder things will appear “as people start getting comfortable” with the concept.
There’s a couple steps that we’re going to be exploring over the course of the series but the very first elements of it, we wanted Tyrone to be able to witness people’s fears and Tandy to be able to witness people’s hopes. So we wanted to just tweak it a little and make it seem a little unworldly but we’re going to get a little bit weirder and weirder as people start getting comfortable. We might not ever see skeletons inside it but I think the idea is the fun of the series is Tandy and Tyrone will learn more and more about what they’re capable of over the series.
Jessica Jones
That Hashtag Show discovered a pair of promptly-deleted audition videos for new characters “Elliott” and “Zelda.” Judging from the dialogue, it appears Zelda is in a committed relationship with another undisclosed character, while Elliott is a gambling addict who shares several traits in common with both Jessica herself and, as the outlet wildly speculates, the obscure Captain America ally Dennis “D-Man” Dunphy.

Spoiler TV has cast photos from the third season of Wynonna Earp. Head over there to see the rest.
