Stranger Things season 4 is probably Netflix’s most awaited production at the time. The next season of the hugely successful show is currently being shot, and there has been a constant if limited stream of news and leaks about it from the cast, crew, and diehard fans.
There are plenty of us who are eager to learn when the next chapter of the pop culture phenomenon will be available on TV, phone, and mobile screens, so we’ll take whatever tidbits of detail we can receive.
The most recent news comes from Stranger Things actors Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp, who play Mike Wheeler and Will Byers, respectively. The pair has offered us a clear idea of when Season 4 will arrive.

Stranger Things season 4 release date: 2022?
Stranger Things season 4’s release date is yet to be confirmed. That’s not surprising given that principal photography is still underway, so we can’t tell when it’ll be out. However, viewers have been advised that it will not air until 2022. According to Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike Wheeler on Stranger Stuff. The actor recently held a chat via an online meet-and-greet platform.
Stranger Things season 4 trailer: is there one?
Yes, but this is just a teaser trailer. You can watch the 50-second video below, which was released in February 2020 and announced the survival of one of the series’ most important characters:

Stranger Things season 4: Hopper is alive
Yes, as shown by the season 4 trailer above, Detective Jim Hopper survived the events of season 3’s finale. His fate remained uncertain after he persuaded Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) to allow the Russians’ rig, which opened a portal to the Upside Down, to self-destruct, despite the fact that Hopper was stuck inside. Fans, however, believed that Hopper had not died in the explosion when Season 3 ended.
Along with the trailer above, which reveals where Hopper went at the conclusion of the previous season, the Duffer brothers released a comment about what happened to the character in February 2020. They were “excited to finally report that Stranger Things 4 production is now underway – and even more excited to celebrate the return of Hopper!”
What will the story be about?
While no official synopsis has been released, we’ve been getting a steady stream of new material from the series’ cast and crew – and all signs point to season 4 being much darker than its predecessors.
Season 4 will be the “scariest yet,” according to Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harington, and David Harbour announced (via Deadline) that Hopper’s path this season will be “painful and dark”.

Stranger Things’ official Instagram account has also announced the title of season 4’s first episode. It’ll be dubbed ‘The Hellfire Club,’ and it’ll be named after one of the new characters that will feature in the next chapter of Stranger Things.
Finally, there are numerous unanswered storey lines from Season 3. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) seems to have lost her powers, and the gang has been broken up, with the Byers family departing for greener pastures.
Will Stranger Things season 4 be in 4K / HDR?
So far, all three seasons have been shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution, which means that anyone with a 4K TV and a good enough internet access will be able to see in great detail. Seasons 2-3 are now in HDR (high dynamic range), which means a wider range of colours and improved contrast – essential for a display drenched in vibrant colours, sparkling neon, and moody skies – but, once again, you’ll need to upgrade.
