In addition, in the very finale of the third season and in one of the trailers, Paul Reiser was again shown. So perhaps further down the line, his Dr. Sam Owens will become an important character again.

Stranger Things Season 4

Beware, the following text contains spoilers for the third season finale.

Plot details are traditionally kept in the strictest confidence. But we can already make some assumptions based on the third season finale, official information and commercials.

After fighting the Mind Flayer, Eleven lost her powers. Sheriff Hopper sacrificed himself to help close the passage to the «back side». But the trailers clearly show that he is still alive and in captivity. Moreover, the Soviet military also captured the Demogorgon monster.

In the end, Eleven, along with Joyce and her children, finally left Hawkins. That it is high time for them to leave the ill-fated place, jokedTurned Upside Down/Vulture even the authors of the show, the Duffer Brothers.

According to the official synopsis Stranger Things Season 4: Everything We Know/Ellethe action of the continuation will unfold six months after the finale of the third season. The heroes are separated for the first time for a long time, and each is trying to cope with the difficulties of high school. But a new threat forces them all to unite.

For sure, part of the plot will be devoted to saving Hopper. How it will be returned is still unknown. Even before filming began, David Harbor himself on the Seth Myers show called the authors of the series to find out the fate of his character.

Later he named David Harbor Says Season 4 of Stranger Things Is His 'Favorite' for His Character Jim Hopper/People beloved. And Joe Keery sharedStranger Things star: season 4 will be “a lot scarier than prior years”/Radio Times much worse than anything that happened before. The same words were repeated by other actors.

However, fans have already found in the first short announcement a hint of further developments. The clock in the left corner of the screen made some viewers think that in the fourth season, the characters will move into the past. This idea is confirmed by other trailers, which show long-term events and even the mysterious fate of Hopper.

Moreover, several posters with the slogan «Every end has a beginning» were published for the release. On the one hand, the authors simply announce that the series is coming to an end — its will be closedStranger Things/Twitterafter the fifth season. On the other hand, you can see a hint of a non-linear flow of events. The phrase even somewhat resembles the slogan of the series «Darkness» («The end is the beginning»), with which Stranger Things is often compared.

And it's just that the authors have not yet touched on this topic. And given that time travel is one of the most important components of fiction, it will be in place in Stranger Things.

And the writers of the series also offered to reveal all the twists and turns of the upcoming season in just one response on Twitter. Only they closed the comments.

What will inspire the authors

As you know, Stranger Things is a series based on references to classic horror and science fiction films. Back in October 2019, the scriptwriters of the project launched a new Video Store Fridays theme on Twitter. Every Friday, they released the titles of the five paintings that inspired Season 4.

INTRODUCING: Video Store Fridays!

every friday, I will list 5 movies the writers talked about during the week. all of these movies relate in some way or another to season four! are you ready or what demonerds?

The first such collection included:

• The Peanut Butter Solution, 1985;
• The Fisher King, 1991;
• Bill and Ted's Terrible Journey, 1991 ;
• “You have a letter”, 1998;
• “Ordinary people”, 1980.

Since then, more than 20 posts have been published with selections, which turned out to be very diverse films: from The Black Swan to Pineapple Express.

It is interesting that in previous seasons, the authors preferred to refer to films released in the year of action plot. Now these are pictures from completely different times. And this once again hints at the theory of time travel.

And it is already known for sure that the first episode of the new season was called «The Hellfire Club», which refers to the X-Men comics.
