"Stranger Things" Season 4 Will Premiere on Netflix in Two Parts

Image Source: Everett Collection It seems like we've been waiting forever for "Stranger Things" season four to arrive, but the wait will soon be over. Months after Netflix shared a handful of teaser trailers, the streamer has finally confirmed when the show will return, this time, in two parts. "Given the unprecedented length, and to get it to you as soon as possible, season 4 will be released in two volumes," creators Matt and Ross Duffer revealed in an open letter. "Volume 1 will release on May 27th; Volume 2 will release five weeks later on July 1st." According to Netflix, season four of "Stranger Things" will revolve around a "new and horrifying supernatural threat" that surfaces, presenting another grisly mystery for the teens to solve. But if they're able to get to the bottom of it, the horrors of the Upside Down could finally come to an end. The tagline for the upcoming season is "Every ending has a beginning." Not only will the upcoming season of "Stranger Things" have a split debut, the '80s-set sci-fi series will also end its iconic run with a fifth and final season. "Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for 'Stranger Things,'" the Duffer brothers continued in their letter. "At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four but - as you'll see for yourselves - we are now hurtling toward our finale." Production for the final season has yet to begin, but based on all the editing and visual effects that go into the show, we won't be seeing it for quite some time. For reference, season three of the show wrapped in November 2018 and aired in July 2019. So if that's the case, season five may not arrive until sometime late 2023/early 2024. But there's still much more mystery to dig into before we get there. As we count down the days to season four, get a sneak peek of what to expect ahead.
