Shooting, we’re rolling! We finally have official news about one of Netflix’s most beloved TV series. Here are the details
The news came suddenly from the social account of Netflix: a photograph captures the clapperboard number zero, in the background a set that the most attentive have recognized immediately, that of Stranger Things 4. Fans of the series had been waiting for the news for months now, after the interruption of filming at the beginning of the year due to the Coronavirus.
The date of the start of production was brought forward a few days according to the schedule, but now it’s really official. The news allows us to speculate on the release date of the new episodes that, if everything goes as planned, we should see in the early months of 2021. In fact, the filming of the fourth season will be more complicated than the previous ones: the set will move outside America and this will take time, also because now it is essential to comply with the anti-contagious rules expected in this period. But we are sure that the team will manage to complete the work and give the audience a show full of fun and twists.
Stranger Things 4 returns: the official news
The news of the return of the TV series was given directly by Netflix through the various social accounts, from Facebook to Twitter. The company has published the photograph of the clapperboard introduced by a message that left no doubt “Meanwhile in the Underworld …”.
Fans of the series have understood on the fly that something was boiling in the pot. In fact, the Underworld is the parallel world where the Demogorgon and all the other monsters of the Stranger Things universe live.
In the photograph accompanying the post, you can glimpse the door that resembles the one in which Hopper was dragged in the last episode of season three. Under the post published by Netflix have multiplied in a few hours comments full of enthusiasm.
Stranger Things 4: Hopper will have a central role?
In recent months, both the cast and the production have released several advances on the TV series. Among the latest news stands out the trailer that reveals that Jim Hopper is still alive but, it is not known how, he ended up imprisoned in Russia. The anticipation spread by the platform in the last hours still refers to him, the chief of the Hawkins Police.
In the fourth season, the character played by David Harbour could therefore have a more important role than in the other chapters. And this would also be perfectly in line with the affection and devotion that the audience has gradually developed towards this figure.
Hopper since the first season appeared as the gruff man with a heart of gold and his very special character immediately won over the audience. Later, he protected and hid Eleven for a whole season and a father-daughter relationship developed between the two.
Of his past life, however, very little is known, apart from a few flashbacks related to his old family: we know, for example, that he had a daughter who died of cancer. These memories were presented in the course of the TV series, but they have never been deepened. And so around Hopper hovers a halo of mystery that, hopefully, will be clarified in the new season.
We just have to wait for more anticipations and official news and maybe even the release date of the new episodes. In the meantime, however, we can catch up on the old ones available on Netflix.
