what do you need to know stranger things
Stranger Things spoilers follow.
Stranger Things flavour 4 is finally on its way – and it has some big questions to reply following season three'southward explosive 77-minute finale, 'The Battle of Starcourt'.
On Feb 17 2022, Netflix gave superfans an admittedly mind-flaying amount of data most what's to come for the Hawkins' gang, and where their future lies. Some of information technology is good news, and others we were left feeling a footling Upside Downwardly over. On 23 March we got a load of new pictures, too.
So grab your Eggos, sit tight, and here'southward everything y'all need to know about what'south to come for the upcoming episodes.
Stranger Things flavor iv release date: When will it air?
Stranger Things season 4 finally has a release date, and will be coming at yous in 2 parts.
Part one will drib on Netflix on May 27, 2022, with the second half following just six weeks later on July 1, 2022.
The events nosotros're almost to witness volition then pave the manner to Stranger Things flavour five – which is, sadly, the final season of the testify.
In part of a long announcement letter, the creators the Duffer brothers wrote: "With nine scripts, over viii-hundred pages, well-nigh 2 years of filming, thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime about twice the length of any previous season, Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but as well the most rewarding ane.
"Anybody involved is incredibly proud of the results, and nosotros can't expect to share it with you."
Speaking about why the show must stop with season five, producer Shawn Levy told ScreenRant: "Well, we never wanted to run on fumes and we wanted to merely tell as much story every bit the [Duffer] brothers saw and feel with clarity.
"And so it's been clear for a while that they know exactly where nosotros're headed and this is the arc."
He connected: "We wouldn't desire to stick around for one moment beyond that vision and the clarity of that vocalisation. So rather than focusing on that distressing twenty-four hours that happens who knows when, the cease of season five, I'll just once again reaffirm what I've told everyone, which is it has been a long-ass wait for flavour four.
"But I swear to God, the world volition realise it's worth it."
Stranger Things season four cast: Who'south returning?
The serial wouldn't be the show information technology is without its colourful, larger-than-life cast, so expect this lot back on your screens once over again: Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Will (Noah Schnapp), Max (Sadie Sink), Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), Robin (Maya Hawke) and Joyce (Winona Ryder), among others.
We besides know that David Harbour will be returning as Hopper, despite that seemingly tragic end to season 3. Chatting to Full Picture, Harbour explained his character "had to change" and "resurrect in some manner", adding: "So we'll see a very different guy going forwards. The same guy, merely in a different vein. Information technology'southward a very cool thing to be able to play."
While it's still unclear how his character survived, Harbour has revealed that flavor four will reveal more of his backstory in a recall to season two where Xi found boxes in Hopper'south attic labelled "dad", "Vietnam" and "New York".
Speaking at Liverpool Comic-Con, the histrion said: "In season four nosotros will give yous a large, huge reveal about Hopper'due south backstory, which we oasis't really told you almost... we're gonna express information technology in a big style.
"It'south my favourite affair about him that you guys don't know nigh him yet, simply it has to do with these backstories of New York, Vietnam, and dad."
In an interview with Amusement Weekly in October, Harbour as well teased what fans should look in the new flavor. "I call up I take the best storyline... What we're trying to exercise, equally we elaborate this thing, [is] to draw information technology back and make sure that we don't have an endgame like some of us thought about, that show Lost... 'What happened to the polar behave?!'" he said.
"We're trying to draw in, so the [elements of the storyline] beginning to come up to a head and become a consummate piece. Season four lays a lot of pipe for that."
(As Lost fans will know, Harbour'south polar-deport comment references the frustrating unanswered questions about the furry beasts that wandered around the tropical island in the cult series.)
It's also been confirmed via the official Stranger Things Twitter account that the hit series will be welcoming some new faces for season four – including stars of The CW'south Black Lightning and Netflix's Anne with an E.
Myles Truitt will have on the role of Hawkins' basketball player Patrick, whose life will finish upwardly "spiraling out of command" post-obit some "shocking events", while Amybeth McNulty will play Vickie, described as "a absurd, fast-talking band nerd who catches the eye of one of our beloved heroes".
"I was ane of the first people in my friend grouping to watch the get-go flavor of Stranger Things," she told The Times. "When I got cast, it came out of the blue. I screamed, cried and got very excited."

Elsewhere, Regina Ting Chen (Queen of the Southward) is going to exist guidance counsellor Ms Kelly, who cares deeply about her students, and Grace Van Dien (Lady Driver) volition play Hawkins' High lead cheerleader and pop girl Chrissy – although all might non be as it seems, because "beneath the seemingly perfect surface lies a nighttime hugger-mugger".
They join another batch of brand-new cast members, announced all the mode back in November 2020:
Robert Englund, aka that virtually '80s of wisecracking series-killer burns victims Freddy Krueger, will play Victor Creel, "a disturbed and intimidating human who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital".
Game of Thrones' Tom Wlaschiha (Jaqen H'ghar) is Dmitri, a "smart and charming Russian prison guard".
Mason Dye from Teenwolf is Jason Carver, "a handsome, rich athlete dating the almost popular girl in school" (can't await to see what Steve Harrington thinks of him).
This content is imported from Instagram. You may exist able to find the same content in another format, or y'all may be able to observe more data, at their web site.
Jamie Campbell Bower from the Twilight Saga (and the young Grindelwald in Harry Potter) is Peter Ballard, "a caring man who works equally an orderly at a psychiatric hospital".
Eduardo Franco (Booksmart) plays Argyle, "a fun-loving stoner, pizza commitment male child and Jonathan's new best friend".
Sherman Augustus is Lt Colonel Sullivan, "a no-nonsense man who believes he knows how to finish the evil in Hawkins." (ie: He's a badass military human being. There volition be clashes, should he meet Hopper).
Nikola Djuricko will play Yuri, "an unpredictable Russian smuggler who loves bad jokes, cold hard cash, and crunchy mode peanut butter". We similar him already.
And British player Joseph Quinn takes the role of Eddie Munson, "the head of the Hawkins High official D&D Club, The Hellfire Social club".
Agents of SHIELD star Joel Stoffer (Enoch) has also been cast in a office that is currently nether wraps.
Speaking to Comicbook.com back in July 2020, Stoffer said: "I've got a role that we haven't shot yet on Stranger Things. I don't expect information technology to become anything like long term... I was sent the pages of my scene and I didn't know any of the actors or I didn't recognise whatever names in my scene."
As for returning faces, Dr Sam Owens (Paul Reiser), who works for the U.s. Department of Energy and was appointed Manager of Operations at Hawkins Lab following the leave of Dr Martin Brenner, made a season three improvement.
He was previously tasked with investigating the Gate to the Upside Downward in a bid to foreclose it from causing mass destruction, and he was the i who helped Hopper prefer Xi.
The fact that he was reintroduced post-obit yet more Gate-related drama, non to mention the growing Soviet threat, suggests that he will play a role in the adjacent instalment. Nosotros really hope that he stays as a good guy because it was a great relief when he turned out non to be a villain in the mould of Brenner after all, despite Reiser having played the ultimate '80s nice-guy-turned-sleazebag in Aliens.
And speaking of Brenner – the silver-haired research scientist and former head of Hawkins Lab who pushed Eleven too far during their experiments and ultimately caused her to open the Gate – will he too be reintroduced? It would be nice to accept a sinister white-coated government spook/scientist guy back on the scene.
Brenner was attacked past a Demogorgon in season 1, merely we didn't really run across him die, which feels like a deliberate decision.
Oh – and 1 more thing: Priah Ferguson has been bumped to serial regular status for season four, because obviously. So prepare yourself for maximum sass, nerds.
We tin hardly wait.
Stranger Things season iv spoilers and plot: What volition happen?
The official synopsis of flavour four reads: "It's been six months since the Boxing of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the beginning time — and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things any easier.
"In this well-nigh vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an stop to the horrors of the Upside Downwardly."
"Honestly, the scripts are groovy," Natalia Dyer told The Independent when asked about the upcoming episodes.
"Every time we finish a season, nosotros all think, 'Where is this going to go? Where can this possibly go?' Then we become the scripts for the next season and we're similar, 'Oh my god, wow, like, wow!'"
She added: "It's going to be actually big. It's going to be big!"
Season 3 wrapped upward on an extremely emotional annotation. Joyce, Will and Jonathan packed up their home in Hawkins and jumped in a removals van with Eleven in tow following Hopper's expiry (which wasn't actually a decease).
"It's not all adept news for our 'American'; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human... and other," reads Netflix'southward official synopsis.
"Meanwhile, dorsum in the States, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long-buried, something that connects everything..."
There's likewise one very large modify: Eleven has seemingly lost her powers, unable to even elevator her teddy bear off the top shelf of her wardrobe.
Merely nosotros're with Mike. Her psychokinetic abilities will surely return. We hope. Nosotros think. Right? Guys?!
Then there's that scene right at the end. While the Gate looked like it had been shut, with some other season (or ii) to go, surely that'due south non the last we've seen of it?
The Soviets, despite suffering a colossal setback, are non done notwithstanding. They have a Demogorgon in captivity – is that evidence that the Gate hasn't been properly shut, but just stalled? Or are Demogorgons able to open their own mini Gates/tears in the fabric of reality?
And we don't really know what the Soviets are planning – an army of Demogorgons, perhaps?
Either manner, one of the beginning teaser posters run across Hopper seemingly leading a squad through his prison house in Russian federation, we're hoping trying to find a way out.
The Duffers revealed in an interview with Amusement Weekly that flavour 4 is "going to open up a niggling chip... non necessarily in terms of scale, in terms of special effects, only open up in terms of assuasive plotlines into areas outside of Hawkins".
Well, a teaser released way back in September 2019 did say: "We're not in Hawkins any more…" and a subsequent trailer revealed that the Byers family and Eleven are now in sunny California.
The Stranger Things team had previously confirmed in late 2020 that the championship of the first episode of flavour four is 'The Hellfire Club'.
This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may exist able to find more information, at their spider web site.
At present all of the titles have been revealed for flavor four's ix episodes, and they are:
• 'The Hellfire Club'
• 'Vecna'south Expletive'
• 'The Monster and the Superhero'
• 'Dear Billy'
• 'The Tina Project'
• 'The Swoop'
• 'The Massacre at Hawkins Lab'
• 'Papa'
• 'The Piggyback'
The Hellfire Lodge was the name of a group of villains in the 10-Men comics, led by Emma Frost, also equally a collection of rakish real-life aristocrats in the 18th century. Meanwhile 'Dear Billy' is probable in reference to Max's now-deceased brother, Baton (Dacre Montgomery), who turned evil in season three, simply to sacrifice himself at the last infinitesimal to protect Eleven and the gang. So perhaps she'll be mourning him in this episode, and could that hateful nosotros'll meet some flashbacks and a cameo from Dacre as Baton?
Finally, 'Papa' is the name Eleven used to refer to her evil father, Dr Martin Bremer (Matthew Modine), who we haven't seen on screen since the end of season ane where he was presumed killed past the Demogorgon. He so popped up in a hallucination in flavour two, during THAT controversial episode, with Eleven'due south similarly super-powered siblings. And then this episode title hints at a likely return from the villain, or maybe it could be Eleven being reunited with her real adoptive 'Papa', Hopper.
And, believe it or not, talk has started around how Netflix'southward smash striking show will somewhen end. Speculation has been rife that season four might exist the last – whether dropped all in one go, every bit usual, or split up into ii halves (via an Contained report), essentially giving us one more than flavour afterward the upcoming instalment.
Creators Matt and Ross Duffer have admitted that they already know how the Netflix serial is going to wrap upwardly – and they accept washed for quite some time.
"We like to wait at each flavor equally kind of its own complete story," Matt told Deadline. "We practise have a pretty large mythology [...] and season past season, we're turning the page and revealing a petty bit more than and more than. So we practise accept a general sense of where we're going. We've known the ending of the show for quite a while."
And yous tin expect to see the testify'southward endgame seeded in season four (which has been confirmed every bit Non beingness the serial' final instalment). "Nosotros know what the end is, and we know when information technology is," Ross Duffer said (via CNN). "[The pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is all-time for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story."
Chatting to Collider, Levy said that the end is "in sight", adding: "In that location is a program and that too will be shared not quite as soon equally a sense of when season four is coming out, but before long enough. I can say this. No-1's making it up as we keep and there is an endgame, if you will."
Millie Bobby Brown's been spotted on set in a hospital gown, which plain references 11'south very showtime appearance on the series. Now, we know that the Duffer brothers have said season four isn't the terminal series. However, that's the kind of lovely circular narrative reference that unremarkably appears at the stop of a story. Just we digress…
During Netflix's TUDUM event in September 2021, fans were teased with a first-look clip of what's to come up, with the gang inbound a spooky mansion known every bit Creel House.
The team are conspicuously on a ghost-hunting mission, but flashbacks reveal that in that location was a serial murder at that place back in the 60s. In something straight out of Amityville Horror and American Horror Story: Murder House, a hubby and wife and their two children encounter their dream house get a nightmare with foreign goings-on.
It eventually leads to the decease of, at to the lowest degree, the son and daughter, with the husband standing over their dead bodies in the hallway. This human being we know will feature prominently in flavor four, and will be played by Robert Englund.
Just Steve and Dustin aren't deterred by the firm's history, and their break-in seems to have some connection to a chilling granddaddy clock in the loft...
Stranger Things spin-offs: What's next?
Stranger Things may be ending with flavor five, merely there are already plans in place for the show to keep long after that.
In the flavor 4 proclamation letter of the alphabet, The Duffer Brothers fabricated note of how information technology was the end of "this story" but maybe non the overall world.
"There are still many exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes," they wrote. "But first we hope that you lot stay with us every bit we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broken police primary and a ferocious mom, of a small town named Hawkins and an alternate dimension known just as the Upside Downward."
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos described Stranger Things every bit a "franchise being born" during a Vox media conference that took place recently (via Borderline). The publication also reported that there is chatter about Brown potentially heading upward an "extension of the Duffer Bros universe" every bit part of her own Netflix deal. Wowza.
The creators of the show accept certainly constructed a vast, layered universe with plenty of stories and scope, and given just how successful it has been for the streamer, the company volition want to keep the ball rolling for the foreseeable.
There'southward long been speculation that one spin-off will focus on Eleven, but as of nevertheless, at that place has been no confirmation of the rumour past Netflix. And then your approximate is as good as ours.
Even so, there has been developments outside of the TV series, with Maya Hawke's Robin getting her own podcast series, also every bit her ain story in a novel, Rebel Robin.
This is not the offset volume to exist released in line with the series. There'due south also a graphic novel collection to accompany the series, including ane about a girl named Half-dozen, who was likewise part of the experiment 11 was involved in. A prequel story named Suspicious Minds has also been released.
Stranger Things 4: Is there a trailer?
Unfortunately, at that place's no news on a full trailer just however – but check back in and we'll update you lot as shortly as there is i.
Hopefully we'll be seeing information technology sooner rather than later.
Stranger Things seasons ane-iii are now streaming on Netflix. Season 4 is due to premiere on May 27, 2022, with the 2nd one-half following on July 1, 2022.
