Stranger Things Creators Promise We'll Get Answers In Season 4

It’s been nearly three years since ‘Stranger Things’ was last on our screens, but the world has been buzzing around the show ever since. It was announced in 2019 that the show would be back for a fourth season. However, we’ve had to wait until 2022 for the latest installment in the franchise, which is set to be split into two chapters.

One of the many things that’s kept people coming back to ‘Stranger Things’ all these years is trying to get answers to some of the biggest questions about the show. Thankfully the ‘Stranger Things’ creators promise we’ll get answers in season 4 - and many can’t wait to see what’s in store.

There’s a reason season 4 of Stranger Things has taken so long to produce

One question on many people’s lips in recent years is why has it taken so long to create season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’? It might be down to how long the episodes are set to be in the latest installment. During a talk at the Contenders Television panel in April 2022, ‘Stranger Things’ co-creator Matt Duffer confessed that each episode is over one-hour long. This is far from some in season 1 that sat at just 35 minutes, meaning there will be plenty of time to answer questions that have been buzzing about the show since the beginning.

Matt Duffer and his brother, co-creator Ross Duffer, both spoke at the panel in 2022. The latter confessed they all had no idea “how big the season was going to get,” and it took until they were halfway through to see “how much story” they wanted to tell in season 4 of ‘Stranger Things.’ The brothers both agree they want to use the latest season to give “the audience some answers” and use it as a chance for “revelations” after so many years on the air.

An explanation of the mythology has been in place since the start of Stranger Things

It can be easy to think that ‘Stranger Things’ has adapted along the way, and while that might be true in some way, it turns out the creators have known what’s up - and what’s upside down - since the beginning. Ross Duffer confessed that Netflix was always asking them to explain “all this mythology,” so they wrote a “giant 20-page document” that explained everything, including all about the Upside Down. Apparently, we’ll get answers in season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’ as the pair want to start peeling back the layers of the mystery. 

Several Stranger Things stars are set to return for season 4

Throughout the years, we have seen plenty of stars come and go from ‘Stranger Things.’ However, season 4 of the show has seen some of the more prominent names return once more, including Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, Finn Wolfhard, David Harbour, and Millie Bobby Brown. While we are yet to see what’s in store for their characters, the promise we’ll get answers in season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’ should mean there is a lot coming our way.

The Duffer Brothers have created an entire universe and franchise with ‘Stranger Things,’ and it’s something fans can’t get enough of, even this long after it first hit the air. Although the pair have confirmed that season 5 will be the last, the promise we’ll get answers in season 4 - and potential spin-offs still to come - should hopefully give ‘Stranger Things’ fans everything they need.
