Not Even Dustin Knows When New STRANGER THINGS Season Will Wrap
Netflix and The Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things 4 is now filming. But not even star Gaten Matarazzo (Prank Encounters) knows when Season 4 will wrap filming – let alone when it will be released on Netflix.
He tells Collider: “There are very few dates that are reliable. It really is more of a guesstimation on when we’re gonna be filming next, when we’re gonna be wrapping up, when release is gonna be, all that jazz because we still don’t know on day-to-day if we’re gonna be filming next week. I should be filming like next month for a bigger chunk than I’ve had in a bit, but even though it’s coming up in about two weeks from now, I still don’t know an exact date. So because of that, there’s really no way to figure out when we’re gonna be wrapping.”
All the same, at least Stranger Things 4 is now filming. Plus, it’s added eight new cast members including Robert Englund, Jamie Campbell Bower, and more. You can check out all of the new additions and their character bios HERE.
Season 4 sees the return of series mainstays such as David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, and Winona Ryder.
Finn Wolfhard teases it will be the “darkest” yet: “Every season it gets darker. I will say [with] season three I was like, ‘This is the darkest season that there’ll ever be’ – exploding rats and everything. But really, season four so far… it’s the darkest season that’s ever been. Every year it gets amped-up; every year it gets funnier, darker, and sadder – and everything. So I’m really excited for people to see it. We’re still filming it. ‘Cause of COVID we had to put it on hold, but now they’re back filming right now.”

Matarazzo also teased the new season is the scariest yet, adding: “Yikes. I think most would probably say it’s the scariest [season] out of the previous three...”
David Harbour also says it’s his favorite, adding: “This season is my favorite. He really is going to show you some new colors and what he’s really made up of. And one of the great things that you can see with Hopper is that he was a protector, he’s a man of justice [and] he now has become a prisoner. He’s trapped and he’s isolated. And we get to see an entirely other color of him that has been hinted at… You really do get to see a lot of his backstory. Who he was as a warrior in a sense. And sort of the mistakes he made in the past come back to visit him.“
The Duffer Brothers created Stranger Things, inspired by the works of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and also Stephen King. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, the first season focused on the disappearance of a young boy and also the appearance of a girl with psychokinetic abilities.
The third season took place in the days leading up to the Fourth of July in 1985. A secret Soviet laboratory under the new Starcourt Mall seeks to open the gateway to the Upside Down, unleashing all-new evil entities into Hawkins.
