Stranger Things season 4 release date: When will it air?
Stranger Things season four finally has a release date, and will be coming at you in two parts.
Part one will drop on Netflix on May 27, 2022, with the second half following just six weeks later on July 1, 2022.
The events we're about to witness will then pave the way to Stranger Things season five – the final season of the show.
In part of a long announcement letter by the creators the Duffer brothers, they said: "With nine scripts, over eight-hundred pages, almost two years of filming, thousands of visual effects shots, and a runtime nearly twice the length of any previous season, Stranger Things 4 was the most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one.
Producer Shawn Levy previously acknowledged that season four was taking longer than anyone expected, including him, seeing as the last episodes dropped back in July 2019.
However, but he promised that it's "worth the wait".
Stranger Things season 4 cast: Who's returning?NETFLIX
The series wouldn't be the show it is without its colorful, larger-than-life cast, so expect this lot back on your screens once 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
We also know that David Harbour will be returning as Hopper, despite that seemingly tragic end to season three. Chatting to Total Film, Harbour explained his character "had to change" and "resurrect in some way", adding: "So we'll see a very different guy going forwards. The same guy, but in a different vein. It's a very cool thing to be able to play."
While it's still unclear how his character survived, Harbour has revealed that season four will reveal more of his backstory in a call back to season two where Eleven found boxes in Hopper's attic labelled "dad", "Vietnam" and "New York".
Speaking at Liverpool Comic-Con, the actor said: "In season four we will give you a big, huge reveal about Hopper's backstory, which we haven't really told you about... we're gonna express it in a big way.
"It's my favourite thing about him that you guys don't know about him yet, but it has to do with these backstories of New York, Vietnam, and dad."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in October, Harbour also teased what fans should expect in the new season. "I think I have the best storyline... What we're trying to do, as we elaborate this thing, [is] to draw it 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 bear?!'" he said.
