When it comes to “Stranger Things” Season 3, one would hardly think that the show would need more marketing than it already has. It’s got legions of fans already, but a little boost in putting the upcoming season on more people’s radars can’t hurt. This might exactly be what a lawsuit threatening the future of the series and then recently dropped would turn out to be.
Up until last week, a lawsuit by Charlie Kessler was putting the future of “Stranger Things” Season 3 in jeopardy. However, that lawsuit has since been dropped, a story by The Hollywood Reporter notes. A statement from the plaintiff explains that he finally realized his mistake.
"After hearing the deposition testimony this week of the legal expert I hired, it is now apparent to me that, whatever I may have believed in the past, my work had nothing to do with the creation of Stranger Things. Documents from 2010 and 2013 prove that the Duffers independently created their show. As a result, I have withdrawn my claim and I will be making no further comment on this matter," the statement reads.
Naturally, Netflix would be relieved to hear that this particular thorn on its side. Its statement regarding “Stranger Things” Season 3 and the recent development says as much.
"We are glad to be able to put this baseless lawsuit behind us. As we have said all along, Stranger Things is a ground-breaking original creation by The Duffer Brothers. We are proud of this show and of our friends Matt and Ross, whose artistic vision gave life to Stranger Things, and whose passion, imagination and relentless hard work alongside our talented cast and crew made it a wildly successful, award-winning series beloved by viewers around the world," a Netflix spokesperson said.
With “Stranger Things” Season 3 set to premiere on July 4, this could actually work to the streaming service’s favor. All the intrigue and secrets certainly lend to the show’s mystery aspect.
