This past July marked two years since the third season of “Stranger Things” premiered on Netflix, with pandemic delays forcing the upcoming fourth season to be pushed to an unknown date. Filming is nearly complete on Season 4, and it sounds like we’ll know more soon.
Speaking with Collider, “Stranger Things” producer Shawn Levy has revealed this week that *something* is coming soon, and with it will come the first premiere details from Netflix.
“All I can say about [the release date] is by the time this airs, we’ll at least have given the world a ballpark. And I’m not allowed to say more. By the time Free Guy comes out, August 13th, part of that answer will be known,” Levy tells Collider’s Steve Weintraub.
The website goes on to note, “Levy further confirmed that the release date would be announced with “a little taste of something,” but not a full trailer.”
What we know of Season 4 thus far is that Hopper is still alive, “imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human…and other.”
“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,” the Duffer Brothers had said back in February of last year.
The season’s cast includes Robert Englund, who will play Victor Creel, a disturbed man who is imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for a gruesome murder in the 1950s.
