Stranger Things has regularly been one of the most popular television programs since its debut on Netflix in 2016. The Duffer Brothers' original series combines 80s nostalgia with suspense narrative to create an engaging series that pays tribute to masterpieces by Stephen King and Steven Spielberg while still working well as its own, unique sci-fi story packed with likable characters.
Stranger Things has three seasons so far, but all eyes are on Stranger Things 4. The fourth season is one of the most eagerly awaited new seasons of television presently in the works, and fans are anxious to learn everything they can about the new episodes.
The COVID-19 shutdown likely influenced Netflix's initial strategy. Filming began in January 2020 and lasted barely a few months until work on the current season was halted owing to the epidemic, and filming did not restart until October 2020. Stranger Things was planned to film for seven months, from January to August 2020, but even then, the post-production time is lengthy.
Stranger Things Season 4 Volume One will launch on May 27, 2022, with Episodes 1 through 7, while Volume Two will premiere on July 1, 2022, with Episodes 8 and 9. The Duffer Brothers have also announced that while every episode in the fourth season is lengthy, Episodes 7, 8, and 9 are feature-length films.
As series regulars, Jamie Campbell Bower, Eduardo Franco, and Joseph Quinn join Robert Englund, Tom Wlaschiha, Nikola Duriko, Joel Stoffer, Sherman Augustus, Mason Dye, Tyner Rushing, and Joe Chrest, Amybeth McNulty, Myles Truitt, Regina Ting Chen, and Grace Van Dien.
Netflix has also announced that the program has been renewed for a fifth and final season.
Stranger Things 4 will include the return of the entire core cast from Stranger Things 3, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, and Maya Hawke.
In addition, for Stranger Things Season 4, Priah Ferguson, Cara Buono, and Brett Gelman have been upgraded to series regulars. The second teaser trailer also confirms Matthew Modine's return as Martin Brenner in the upcoming season.
