There was good, very good, and some bad news for fans of Netflix’s Stranger Things, today.
The streamer announced that the beloved sci-fi series is set to return on May 27 (good), as part one in a 2 part super-sized 4th volume.
The very good news is that fans will not have to hang around waiting for Season 4B to drop. The second volume will arrive promptly on July 1st, 2022.
However, the announcement was tinged with a note of sadness. The series’ fifth season (coming somewhere down the line) will also be its last.
Show creators the Duffer Brothers wrote an open letter to fans, outlining their plans for the remainder of the series.
“There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things: new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes,” they noted. “But first we hope you stay with us as we finish this tale.”
The upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things finds our heroes six months on from the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins.
Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier.
In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.
Since its release in 2016, the global phenomenon Stranger Things has garnered over 65 award wins and 175 award nominations, including those from the Emmys, Golden Globes, Grammys, SAG, DGA, PGA, WGA, BAFTA, a Peabody Award, AFI Program of the Year, the People’s Choice Awards, MTV Movie & TV Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and many others.
The series is produced by Monkey Massacre Productions & 21 Laps Entertainment, with The Duffer Brothers serving as executive producers alongside Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps Entertainment, and Iain Paterson.
