The minute we saw his audition tape he just blew us away, so we were very excited to give him that center stage in season three. Immediately we knew that the Billy arc would be better served over an entire season, and Dacre is a force of an actor. We came off of season one, we were so excited by the response, and we sort of poured in all of these ideas into season two, which included the Billy arc as well as other ideas that are now filtering into season four. ROSS The Billy arc that you see in season three was initially going to be in season two. What was the inspiration behind Billy’s arc?
It was nice that we had planted it in season one, but we really had no idea that the show would go beyond that.ĭacre Montgomery’s character becomes more than just the villain he was in season two. MATT We were looking for a way to introduce new villains and new characters and new flavor into the show, and of course provided not just new villains but fun, endearing characters like Alexei. Did you plan for Russian characters from the beginning, and will we see more of them going forward? The show is very conscious of the Cold War. It lent a joyful energy to the show that wouldn’t have existed otherwise. ROSS We were so happy with the mall and so proud of our whole art department for bringing it to life - all these extras, their ’80s costumes and their ’80s hair. The moment we were filming it, we knew it was going to work. Gaten and Gabriella absolutely killed it. You always have moments where you’re not sure whether it’s going to work, but seeing it in execution, seeing the “Neverending Story” duet between Dustin and Suzie work in the way that it did, seeing the fans react to it so positively. What is your favorite moment from season three? There’s a little more humor in it, a little more action, and it just has a different feel than the past two seasons, which were set in the fall and a little more dreary and scary. We wanted it very saturated, and we wanted this season to feel like the big Hollywood summer blockbusters that we grew up with and loved so much. Automatically, that gave it this very different feel in terms of both the tone and the colors.
With season three, we realized early on that we were going to shoot mostly in the summer and that it would be released in the summer. ROSS DUFFER We want each season to feel different, as opposed to re-creating the same thing over and over again. In terms of storytelling, how would you compare this season with the previous two?
