Stranger Things Season 4 will be released on May 27, 2022, on Netflix. Set six months after the Battle of Starcourt, the cast is separate for the first time and must face a potentially greater challenge: high school. We're all counting down the minutes until Stranger Things season 4, and Netflix is counting down the minutes and hours until ... something else. A new live stream you can watch right now — and we've embedded the video below — has popped up on the official Stranger Things YouTube channel.And Netflix just confirmed one of the things we'll get at the end of the countdown ( details below).

A key example of this Stranger Things sound evolution, he says, is how the source of the Demogorgon’s sound is actually recordings of seals. “We’ve morphed him so many ways now after three or four seasons that there’s a whole other language to what the Demogorgon sounds like now,” he says. “But the advantage of sound and storytelling is to use silence and quietness. So we haven’t forgotten our roots, but definitely things have gotten bigger and when it gets big like that cinematically, sound tends to follow and that’s where we end up in season four.”

This is when we come to the horrifying realisation that Max is to be Vecna's next victim, as he apparently thrives on teenage trauma. Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) is the member of the show’s core group who is hunted by Vecna. Courtesy of Netflix It looks, to me, like the hands are at 10 and 2, which could indicate a possible release date of Oct. 2, 2021, for season 4. That’s probably about as early as we will see Stranger Things season 4 on Netflix anyway after the major delay in production. To make sure you never miss out on your favourite NEW stories, we're happy to send you some reminders It's no surprise, then, that this was an easy nine-hour binge for the Stranger Things fandom, many of whom are already speculating on what the epic Volume 1 twist could mean for Volume 2, as well as who else could be involved in Hawkins' gruesome murders.

But we already know who Vecna is," you may argue. Well, some sharp viewers have come up with a theory that suggests none other than Ms Kelly (Regina Ting Chen) has been connected to this season's nightmarish villain all along, and they make a pretty compelling case for it. Of course, Netflix may be preparing something else entirely. Since the Creel House is still mostly unknown, the countdown could conclude with more footage or teasing of said house. The painful three-year wait was well worth it, as the fourth instalment is bigger, darker, longer – and the team of misfits are much taller this time around. Stranger Things just shared another teaser for season 4. This time, it was an image from the set to announce the restart of production on Stranger Things season 4. Stranger Things is getting better with every season, and the fourth season presents a much darker tone. With Demogorgons, things were quite scary, but it didn't feel like a big deal. Then came the Mind Flayer, which made the show more intense, but with Vecna in season four of Stranger Things, it feels like Satan has himself arrived at Hawkins.It's also possible that Nancy didn't need to be 'recruited' by Ms Kelly because she was already in the Upside-Down, thus giving Vecna easy access to her. Knowing what we know about the creation of Stranger Things, that seems fairly unlikely. Like many great TV shows, Stranger Things appears to have been more of a collaborative improvisational process among its writers than a strictly plotted out series with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Recall that early on, the Duffers even planned for the show to be an anthology with a new cast and story stepping in each season. That plan was wisely scuttled once it became clear how magical the original cast was. As a creative starting point each year, the Duffer Brothers provide Henighan with adjectives to describe the season. If season three was “gore,” season four is “psychological.” From those early conversations, Henighan says he and his sound team took the descriptor and ran with it. Many of the post's commenters are split on whether Vecna simply shape-shifts into Ms Kelly or if he uses mind control, forcing her to find and provide him with suitable candidates.

The latter seems slightly more plausible, since we've seen Vecna use mind control to paralyse his prey and plague them with nightmares on multiple occasions. Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) found herself under his spell as she continued to mourn the death of her brother Billy (Dacre Montgomery). The last two episodes are just massive. All the pieces that have been building up pay off [in the final two episodes],” he says, careful not to give away spoilers. “There’s a whole giant showdown to come between Eleven and Vecna; they’ve teased that a little in the trailers.”Vecna isn't a monster like the Demogorgon or Mind Flayer and he isn't after Eleven or her powers; rather, Vecna is a humanoid, dark wizard who is using his powers to amass some sort of team, similar to what the Mind Flayer did in Stranger Things season 2 with the Demodogs. But there's more to it; he isn't choosing people at random, nor is he killing them whenever he wants to. He's quite calculated in his modus operandi, first going after people psychologically and then with visions, before finally bringing them into his realm.
