Netflix Announces STRANGER THINGS Will Return in 2022 With New Teaser!

It has been over two years since the last season of Stranger Things premiered on Netflix. Needless to say, we are more than ready to return to Hawkins, Indiana and discover what has become of our friends, and the fate of Hopper. Fortunately, we only must wait until next year as Netflix finally releases a new promo teasing the return of the successful sci-fi series!

When last we watched Stranger Things, it seemed that Hopper had been killed and the Byers family was leaving Hawkins with a powerless Eleven. The new season will feature the usual suspects as well as new locations and characters including horror legend Robert Englund as Victor Creel, a disturbed murder suspect imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital.

Of the new season the Duffer Brothers said last February “Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more,”

If you’re wondering why this season took nearly twice as long as the past, Screen Rant reported that,

Since July 2019, viewers have waited eagerly for news about the new season and a release date. The production team has always emphasized quality over speed, meaning there have been hefty gaps between previous seasons, but this time round things have taken even longer. The article continues, Its important to begin by recognizing the sheer scale of Stranger Things season 4. Until now, the show has been centered around Georgia, but season 4 has left Hawkins behind and, as a result, there are a lot of location shots around the globe. The cast and crew traveled to Vilnius, Lithuania in late 2019, where they shot scenes related to Hopper’s escape from a Russian prison. They’re currently filming at Netflix’s studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where – according to Deadline – they’re shooting “a significant portion” of season 4. As executive producer Shawn Levy recently explained, “this is the first season where we have this sprawling geography, multiple location shoots.” This international production is naturally taking longer. And then, of course, there is the additional problem of the coronavirus pandemic. Filming began in February 2020, but all Netflix productions ground to a halt in March due to the pandemic and its associated lockdowns; Stranger Things didn’t resume production until November. The Duffer brothers used this as an opportunity to work on the scripts, and – for the first time ever – they’d completely finished writing the season before shooting recommenced
