When Netflix announced Stranger Things season 4 would not premiere in 2021, viewers were a little upset. Season 4 of Stranger Things will premiere in the summer of 2022, Netflix confirmed at the episode titles reveal. This was disappointing because we had been anticipating a spring 2022 release date.
But, hey, we’re getting close! Everything you need to know about Stranger Things season 4 is right here!
Stranger Things Season 4: Release Date
There is always a beginning to a story. The first volume will be released on May 27th. and Vol. 2 will be released on July 1.

The Duffer brothers – Matt and Ross – explained why season 4 was split into two in a letter released with the launch dates announcement:
Netflix has now confirmed how many episodes there will be in each portion after a long wait. Vol. 1 will have seven episodes, while Vol. 2 will only have the final two episodes of the season. Season 4 of Stranger Things will require a total of over 13 hours of your time if you want to see it all the way through.
“We realized we needed another episode halfway through outlining,” co-creator Matt Duffer told Netflix’s Tudum website on the choice to go with a supersized season. Originally, there were only going to be eight episodes, but after reaching out to Netflix, we learned that they were open to the idea of adding a ninth. Which they overwhelmingly endorsed.

What Will Be the Plot of the Upcoming Season?
Season three ended on a stormy high. Following Hopper’s death, Joyce, Will, and Jonathan packed up their Hawkins house and leaped into a moving van with Eleven in tow.
The official synopsis of Stranger Things season 4 is as follows:
“It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier.
“In this most vulnerable time, new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.”
“Honestly, the scripts are great,” Natalia Dyer told The Independent when asked about the upcoming episodes.
“Every time we end a season, we all think, ‘Where is this going to go? Where can this possibly go?’ Then we get the scripts for the next season and we’re like, ‘Oh my god, wow, like, wow!'”
She added: “It’s going to be really big. It’s going to be big!”
“It’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other,” reads Netflix’s official synopsis.
“Meanwhile, back in the States, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long-buried, something that connects everything…”
