After the chilling third season, fans are now waiting for Netflix to release Stranger Things Season 4. With its messed-up finale, the installment left us with hundreds of questions. Our favorite citizens of Hawkins have to be back with the answers we need. When will they return? What will happen next? Here’s everything to know.
Stranger Things introduced us to a stranger town, Hawkins in Indiana. The fictional town is full of mysteries and homes an entire alternate dimension. Our mighty heroes, Mike, Eleven, Will, Lucas, Dustin, and others have been fighting unnatural creatures since Stranger Things’ debut in 2016. As of now, the town has called in another set of problems to resolve in the fourth installment.
Stranger Things Season 4: Renewal
Duffer Brother’s sci-fi series is one of the most popular and successful shows for the streaming platform. In fact, after its loss of subscribers in the second quarter of 2019, Netflix needs more shows like this to boost its growth again. As of now, Stranger Things is one of the few shows that can balance the streamer’s success rate in the future. Hence, the period drama has higher chances to return.
Currently, we do not have a renewal. However, based on the parameters above and its performance with the audience, the show may soon get a green flag. Season 3 gained much popularity and won over millions of viewers around the globe. Fans are now waiting for a confirmation by Netflix. However, it’s almost certain that the streamer may announce it sooner this year.
Who Will Be Back In Season 4?
Fans are already aware that most of the Stranger Things characters will be back in the upcoming installment. However, we still have a few doubts about some of the famous characters. And, Jim Hopper (David Harbour) is surely one of them. Season 3 left us with a huge cliffhanger. And, we’re still wondering if Eleven’s stepdad will return to Season 4 or not.
While trying to shut the rift to Upside Down, Hopper ended up getting killed in an explosion (or at least it looked like he died). We still aren’t sure if he somehow managed to escape or not. Fans are still holding up to the possibility of him being still alive. The story may go either way. However, we hope that the beloved character returns to Stranger Things Season 4.
On the other hand, fans doubt the revival of another character that died in Season 3. The Mind Flayer killed the human-villain, Billy in the season finale. As far as we know now, he is still very much dead and may not return in Stranger Things Season 4. However, the show may give us another surprise by actually saving the character somehow. Chances of the same are pretty low, although we still hope for the miracle to happen.
Is This The Final Season?
The Duffer Brothers have previously claimed to have a four-season plan for their mammoth sci-fi series. They’ve also mentioned that the story is also suited to run till the fourth season. However, the success rate makes them re-evaluate their decision. They are currently hoping to extend the story to a fifth installment as well.
Currently, Stranger Things Season 4 is almost certain to be back on Netflix. Possibilities are high for a fifth season, although nothing is confirmed as of now.
When Will Stranger Things Season 4 Be Back On Screen?
Netflix is yet to announce the renewal of the much-anticipated installment. However, the news may soon reach us in a few weeks. The series usually take a while to be back on screens again. As per speculations, Stranger Things may premiere as soon as late-2020 or early 2021. We hope to get more official insights into the fourth season soon. Well, we’ll surely keep you updated with everything we get to know.
