The popular Netflix series, Stranger Things, took a devastating turn for fans at the end of season 3, where Hopper and Joyce managed to close The Gate. However, this defeat came at the cost of Hopper’s life. Or so we think.
Since season 3, fans were eager to hear the news that the exciting TV series, set in the 1980s, would get renewed for another series. Luckily, that news came quite recently, Stranger Things season 4 will be back on our screens shortly.
But what can fans expect from season 4 and what can they do in the meantime to quench their thirst for the Netflix series?
Stranger Things: Season 4
Speculation about when the season will come out and what will happen is aplenty, thanks to keen fans.
Some people believe that the next season will premiere on Netflix from mid to late 2021. Whilst other people believe that the show might return as soon as 2020. However, no exact date has been specified by the producers or creators of Stranger Things.
The closing scene of season 3 saw Joyce taking Will and Jonathan, and her newly adopted daughter Eleven away from Hawkins. Eleven still didn’t have her powers back since she defeated the Mind Flayer and was distraught because of Hopper’s death. So, who will return in season 4?
You can expect the appearance of your favourite characters, such as Eleven, Mike, Joyce, Dustin, Will, Lucas, Max, Steve, Nancy, Jonathan, Erica, Karen, and Murray.
There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the appearance of the two characters who died in season 3, Billy and Hopper. With many fans coming up with theories and stories about how one of them, or both of them, make come back.
What Can Fans Do While They Wait for Season 4?
There are a few things you can do to feed your thirst for Stranger Things. The first thing you could do is to rewatch the previous seasons and dig deeper into the story line. Many fans are creating their own theories about what is going to happen and looking for clues in previous episodes.
Another thing you could do is get some Stranger Things merchandise. There’s a whole range of Stranger Things related gifts available, from t-shirts to mugs, and from socks to posters. With Christmas just around the corner, it might be a good idea to get these gifts for yourself or loved ones.
Along with cool merch, Stranger Things have also teamed with Polaroid and have created a limited edition Stranger Things OneStep 2 camera. This film-based instant camera can help you get into the retro mood and create some great images with your friends.
This collaboration between Polaroid and Stranger Things makes sense because Polaroid cameras were very popular in the 80s and are once again gaining popularity thanks to TV shows such as Stranger Things. Try your hand at retro photography and capture life’s moments with a polaroid and print them instantly, just like they did in the 80s before digital cameras.
