Stranger Issues behind the scenes
Stranger Things is heading to New Mexico for capturing some components of the fourth season. Affirmation as to who/the place and which actors might be filming in New Mexico hasn’t occurred. It may end in one other climactic finale, or probably scenes for Hopper? Or possibly, the Byers and Eleven have moved all the best way to New Mexico to get as distant as they’ll from Hawkins, Indiana.
Is season 4 the final season of Stranger Issues?
Trying past season 4 for Stranger Issues is tough, particularly as we don’t understand how the story will wrap up within the new season but.
Shawn Levy, nevertheless, has spoken about the way forward for the present saying:
“I imply I’ll say we’ve a great sense of stuff that occurs in season 4. Season 4 is unquestionably taking place. There’s very a lot the opportunity of a season past that one, that’s at present undecided. And what I might simply say is a part of the chaos and enjoyable of this explicit present is that whereas the Duffers and the author’s room and we producers define all the season, the Duffers actually use the writing course of to revisit, reassess and query all of their prior assumptions.
So although we all the time begin off with a great sense of the foremost arcs of the season. We’re all the time prepared for shifts and surprises as a result of if the Duffers stumble into a special or stunning inspiration whereas they rewrite the script, we’re going to observe that inspiration and throw out some concepts to be able to embrace some new ones which might be extra thrilling. And I’ve little doubt that season Three might be no exception.”
What do the Duffer Brothers must say?
However from what was stated it’s nonetheless unclear on whether or not or not a fifth season is going on. Even the Duffer Brothers are unsure about the place they stand on a fifth season. In an interview with Enews, the Brothers had the next to say:

Matt:
“It’s arduous, like 4 appears quick, 5 appears lengthy. So I don’t know what to do.”
We do, nevertheless, have extra to stay up for from The Duffer Brothers and certainly Shawn Levy who all have exclusive output deals with Netflix over the subsequent few years.

What can we anticipate from Stranger Issues season 4?
Season three left us with lots to ponder for subsequent season. We are able to anticipate a few of the following to be revealed.
Who’s “The American?”
This query has since been answered because of the teaser Netflix dropped for Stranger Issues season 4.
How did Hopper survive? Effectively, we by no means noticed Hopper’s physique disintegrated by the outburst of energy from the Russian’s machine however left to imagine the worst.
Hopper should have used the opening between worlds by the machine to leap from Hawkins to Kamchatka. Alternatively, he could have ended up within the Upside Down, solely to be caught by Russians.
There’s each probability that Hopper may use the machine to make a return journey to the USA. We suspect that the pet demogorgon being held by the Russians may have an element to play in Hopper’s eventual escape.

Are the Byers and Eleven going to return to Hawkins?
After the tearful goodbye to their buddies and Hawkins, the Byers and Eleven have moved away to pastures new. Earlier than leaving Mike and Eleven have made it clear they’ll be speaking to and visiting as usually as they’ll. Mike will go to the Byers place for Thanksgiving, and Eleven will ask Joyce if she will be able to keep at Mike’s for Christmas.
It’s our hope the subsequent season might be based mostly at Christmas, which might give writers a simple purpose to jot down characters to be in Hawkins on the identical time. Regardless, characters corresponding to Eleven and Will are vital to the story because of their connection to the Upside Down.
Jonathan’s return to Hawkins would coincide along with his relationship with Nancy Wheeler. As for Joyce, she’d seemingly tag alongside simply to verify Will and Eleven are secure.
How will the Mindflayer return?
If anybody thought the Mindflayer was destroyed is unfortunately mistaken. The creature seen all through the third season was a conduit utilized by the Mindflayer and never the Mindflayer itself. With the connection between the Upside Down and our world shut, the conduit physique misplaced its “sign” to the Midnlfayer thus the physique was destroyed.
The Mindflayer is secure and sound within the Upside Down however is trapped for now. He’ll positively be returning with a vengeance and can seemingly look to enact his revenge in town of Hawkins after being thwarted twice.
As to how he returns might be very attention-grabbing. The previous two events when he’s possessed people has not gone to plan. Arguably possessing one of many Russians can be a much better possibility than a youngster from Hawkins.

Have the Russians tamed a Demogorgon?
The massive reveal on the finish of the fourth season was proven to be a Demogorgon had been captured by the Russians. At first, it seemed the Russians had discovered a Demodog till it stood on its hind legs revealing the true type of the creature.
The Russians plan to tear open a portal to the Upside Down in Kamchatka should have been successful. Whereas the power in Hawkins was shut down, the Kamchatkan base continues to be totally practical. Given time to good the analysis, the machine could now give the Russians entry to Upside Down as and after they please.
How they got here to seize a Demogorgon is unclear however maybe they had been capable of finding one of many spawns just like Dustin’s pet D’Artagan in season 2. This could give pause to purpose that the Demodogs are the truth is the juvenile or pet stage of the Demogorgon.
Dustin’s connection to D’Artagan additionally provides us purpose to consider that creatures from the Upside Down can type bonds, nevertheless small. So if the Russians raised this explicit Demogorgon from delivery/spawn, then possibly they had been in a position to tame the monster. Or of least the Demogorgon likes to be fed regularly and the Russians can examine the creature. Additionally, the Demogorgon has the flexibility to go out and in of the Upside Down, which leads us to marvel why it willingly would keep in a cage.

Extra experiments to look?
Within the second season, we realized that Eleven wasn’t the one experiment to flee the Division of Vitality. Eight was additionally in a position to escape and she or he made it her mission to take down the individuals associated to the experiments. Like Eleven, Eight additionally exhibited powers of her personal. As an alternative of telekinetic talents like Eleven’s, Eight may forged illusions, turn into invisible via her illusions and in addition clairvoyance.
We didn’t see any additional experiments in season Three however director and government producer Shawn Levy closely hinted we may see extra sooner or later:
“I believe we’ve clearly implied there are different numbers, and I can’t think about that the world will solely ever know Eleven and Eight”
A number of forged members and crew members have been talking about season Four so right here’s a roundup on what they’ve been saying.
Hiro Koda (who we recently got an interview with) who serves because the stunt co-ordinator for Stranger Issues said the following:
“It’s going to be epic. There’s a number of nice surprises and all of your favourite individuals are in it, It’s going to be so good. It’s so epic. I’ve gotten to learn via virtually eight scripts now, it’s fairly superior. I don’t know what number of we’re going to get.”
David Harbour has teased what’s in retailer for Hopper for season Four saying:
“I do know particularly that in Season Four we will provide you with an enormous, large reveal about Hopper’s backstory”
There’s additionally been a great few different leaks about season Four which embrace:
- Three extra teenagers supposedly becoming a member of the principle forged
- Starcourt Mall will return
Who can we anticipate to see return for the fourth season of Stranger Issues?
The largest casting query going into season 4 was whether or not David Harbour can be returning.
Due to a tweet from Netflix in February 2020, we now have affirmation that David Harbour might be returning to function of Jim Hopper in season 4.
