When can we expect to return to the Upside Down?

Ever since it first premiered on Netflix back in 2016, Stranger Things has consistently been one of the most popular television shows around. The original series from creators The Duffer Brothers mixes 80s nostalgia with suspense storytelling to craft an addictive series that’s heavy on homages to classics from the likes of Stephen King and Steven Spielberg while also working well as its own, original sci-fi story packed with lovable characters.

ADVERTISINGStranger Things has aired three seasons thus far, but right now all eyes are on Stranger Things 4. The upcoming fourth season is one of the most highly anticipated new seasons of television currently in the offing, and fans are eager to find out everything they can about what the new episodes will entail. So below we’ve assembled everything we know about Stranger Things Season 4 so far, from plot and casting details to filming updates, and even episode names.

Editor's Note: Updated June 20, 2021 - In our latest update, we've added new information on what's next for Sheriff Hopper, from our interview with David Harbour, as well as four new recently announced characters and cast members who will take us back to Hawkins High School.

To mark the start of filming on February 4, 2020, the very first Stranger Things Season 4 trailer was released. It’s a brief teaser and only includes footage of David Harbour’s Hopper, but it’s certainly better than nothing. Then on May 6, 2021, another teaser was released that took us back to the Rainbow Room and hinted at more of Eleven’s origin story being told in Season 4 when Is the Stranger Things Season 4 Release Date?

Netflix has not yet announced when Stranger Things Season 4 will be released, but their original plan was undoubtedly impacted by the COVID-19 shutdown. Filming was only able to last for a couple of months before production was shut down on the new season due to the pandemic, and filming didn’t resume until October 2020. Originally, filming was supposed to last seven months, from January to August 2020, but even then Stranger Things has a long post-production schedule.

At the shortest, there will be a four-month gap between when filming ends and Stranger Things Season 4 is released. And at longest, quite a bit longer than that. So unfortunately it’s unlikely that we’ll see the release of Season 4 anytime before late 2021 at the earliest, and it’s more likely that Stranger Things Season 4 will be released sometime in the first half of 2022.
