The end of the series is announced. But it’s not that far yet. There are a few surprising guest stars in season four.
Netflix has good and bad news for fans of the mystery series Stranger Things. The eagerly awaited fourth season of the hit series, which has been running since 2016, will be available in two parts from the end of May, the streaming giant announced on Twitter. The second part is scheduled to premiere on July 1st.
At the same time, Netflix also announced the end of “Stranger Things” with the fifth season. This will be the “epic conclusion” of this story, just as the series creators always planned.
In a letter, producers Matt and Ross Duffer said that seven years ago, when it started, they had estimated up to five seasons. The now announced fourth season was the “most difficult” ever, but it was “bigger than ever,” wrote the Duffer brothers. So this season is in two parts.
“Stranger Things” follows the chilling adventures of children in a small town in the United States during the 1980s. The acclaimed series starring Winona Ryder (Black Swan) and David Harbor (Suicide Squad) is popular with fans not only for its horror effects, but also for its loving 80s look, which borrows from old adventure films like “The Goonies” or “ET” served.
In the fourth season, new actors are added, including German actor Tom Wlaschiha (“Game of Thrones”) and horror star Robert Englund, known as Freddy Krueger. In 2019, the third season of the hit series about Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and their friends, who are threatened by evil forces, ran. Filming for the fourth season had been interrupted due to the corona pandemic.
