'Stranger Things' season three delayed: Netflix

Fans of "Stranger Things" will have to wait longer for the third season of the popular sci-fi series, Netflix has confirmed.

Cindy Holland, programming executive of the streaming giant, revealed that the show will not arrive till next summer, but has reassured that the next spell will be "better" than the second season.

Season two, which premiered on October 27 last year, received mixed responses from the fans.

"It's a handcrafted show. The Duffer Brothers and Shawn Levy, they understand the stakes are high. They want to deliver something bigger and better than last year. I think it's going to be a fantastic season. It will be worth the wait," Holland said.

According to EW, she was in a conversation with the critics at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills.

Holland also noted that the next season will have more special effects than the previous ones.

"It's a really exciting season, just takes a little more time," she said.

The show has already released a teaser trailer for the next season.
