In short, we've got absolutely everything you need to know about Stranger Things season 4 right here. There are even details on the movies inspiring the new episodes, along with some speculation on when the next installment will be set. That's just the start, too – scroll on for the complete lowdown on the new series of Netflix's hit original.
The Stranger Things season 4 release window is 2022
While Netflix never revealed an official Stranger Things season 4 release date, it has been confirmed that the series will be landing in summer 2022. There's still no specific date beyond that, though.
David Harbour – who plays Hopper – said during a Q&A that the series was "supposed to come out early [2021]" but has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, which left many movies and TV shows unable to film. The series had begun filming pre-outbreak but was forced to pause.
Following some Twitter teases, Stranger Things season 4 was officially confirmed (to no one's surprise) with a teaser trailer that featured the season 4 logo being strangled by the living vines of the Upside Down. It also has a clock chiming. The video concludes with the message, "We're not in Hawkins anymore." Can we expect the curtain to be drawn back on the Upside Down's secrets?
Then, in February 2020, a second trailer arrived, confirming a very important return... Hopper's alive! After perishing at the end of season 3, the Duffer brothers have confirmed that David Harbour's character will be back.
"It's not all good 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," the brothers said. "Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long-buried, something that connects everything….
"Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime – pray for the American."
Netflix has also unveiled a look at the cast doing a table read, the video confirming a few big names will return. Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Noah Schnapp (Will), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Winona Ryder (Joyce), Sadie Sink (Max), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Natalia Dyer (Nancy) are all present, as expected. Cara Buono (Karen) and the season-stealing Maya Hawke (Robin) will return. Then there's a bald-headed David Harbour (Hopper), presumably fresh off his excursion to Mother Russia
Stranger Things season 4 episode count and titles
Reports have circulated that Stranger Things season 4 will be eight episodes long, which would be consistent with seasons 1 and 3, though one episode behind season 2. However, the Stranger Things scriptwriters have since revealed that they've written nine episodes worth of scripts. In a tweet, the nine scripts were shown all piled on top of one another. Natalie Dyer, who plays Nancy, has since confirmed this, saying that the delay to filming has allowed the scriptwriters to finish everything before filming – something that does not normally happen.
More interesting is the title of episode one. Yes, we've had confirmation on the name of the Stranger Things season 4 premiere, all thanks to the show's official writers' Twitter account. The episode is titled "The Hellfire Club," and alongside the image, a message reads: "Looking for new members... are you in?"
The Hellfire Club is a group of villains who have faced off against the X-Men numerous times, including on the big screen in X-Men: First Class. In that movie, the Hellfire Club is led by Sebastian Shaw, played by Kevin Bacon. Of course, the Stranger Things kids will not have seen that movie, but they will have read the comics. The Hellfire Club, filled with wealthy and influential individuals looking to manipulate world events for their own benefit, debuted in the 1980 comic Uncanny X-Men #129. At one stage, Jean Grey, overtaken by Phoenix, joins the club.
Numerous commentators have drawn comparisons between Eleven and Jean Grey. Could the telepathic teenager be about to break bad? Well, perhaps not.
The rest of the season's episode titles have since been revealed, too: they're titled Vecna’s Curse, The Monster and The Superhero, Dear Billy, The Nina Project, The Dive, The Massacre At Hawkins Lab, Papa, and The Piggyback.
