Stranger Things Return Date Revealed; Season 4 Sliced In Half For No Reason
After an entire pandemic’s length of time, Matt and Ross Duffer finally came forward with some new information about the future of their pride and joy, Netflix’s Stranger Things. The good news is that after suggesting we wouldn’t get the fourth season until the summer, the Duffers have revealed we’ll get it a bit earlier than that. The bad news is that not all of it will be there.
We have no idea why this is, but Netflix has decided to split the season in two halves and premiere 4A on May 27, followed by 4B on July 1. We’re talking about a season that’s only nine episodes large, and while that’s big for a Stranger Things season, it’s still just nine episodes. Most people will probably finish those little bites in a day (and then blast the spoilers everywhere to people who prefer to take it slow).
While they were around, the Duffers also confirmed once and for all that Stranger Things is a five-season story…but if you think it’s truly ending there, you don’t know capitalism very well. “We hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broken police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins and an alternate dimension known only as the Upside Down,” they said, but they also threw in “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things; new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes,” hinting at spinoffs, prequels, Stranger Things The Flamethrower, etc.
Normally release date announcements are followed by trailers. There’s nothing right now, but that could change soon. We’ll let you know what pops up.
