I think this is certainly the biggest season that we've ever had and the
most challenging terms of just the overall scope of the show last year was
level three this is like skipping to level seven it's intense
It was huge for the season in terms of those initial rainstorms was just
knowing that this is the kids last summer before high school
It was an emotional time and scary time too because you didn't know what the future
was gonna hold so we wanted to use that as an anchor for sort of the character
development this season if season two was about the quest to get
back to normal season three is about the inevitability of change we see our kids
in season three really wrestling with that transition to adolescence and the
fact that that invariably does mean leaving some things and maybe some
people behind we're not kids anymore I mean what did you think we're just gonna
sit my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives
there was this seed planted early on in season one of Joyce and hopper having
had a relationship in the past I've always kind of wanted to see what
that was or how that came to fruition and this season we start to see much
more of that I want you to feel like this can still be your home relationship
between Joyce and hopper I think is really fun and sort of complicated and I
think there's a lot there that we've been sort of discovering each season
like we have history kind of opens him up as a man and it
allows him to be vulnerable in a way that he never has been in the show yet
it's a very interesting new dynamic
even though maybe you didn't grow up in Indiana I do feel like people can relate
to having these ordinary lives
and this an excitement of that adventure might just be around the corner
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new stranger things
season 4 video they just dropped a new trailer in a featurette because it's the
one-year anniversary of the premiere of season 3 they talked a lot about what's
going on during season 4 so we'll break it all down if you're new to the channel
be sure to subscribe to get all the videos of course I'll be doing videos
for the season 4 episodes and I will talk about what's going on with that
because of all the delays they're going to be filming again really soon they've
been a lot of questions about season 4 actually happening yes they are making a
season 4 I'll explain what the producers said about that too because everyone's
wondering if there'll be more stranger things after this season we learned that
the title of the first episode is the Hellfire Club because of this tweet
that's probably a reference to 11 and her friends the main group of characters
maybe it's the name that they give themselves after getting back together
they split up briefly at the end of the season for summer break when school got
out that's kind of what you see them talking about during this like the kids
growing up is they're slowly driving away at the end of the season there's
this whole theme in the show the last couple of seasons about them growing up
becoming more mature taking more control over their destiny
so maybe they reform the group to save hopper and stop the Russians in a much
bigger way because it's implied that they're leaving town they're going to be
heading to Russia or at least heading into the upside down to fight the mind
flayer we get a much better look at Jack and Hegar from Game of Thrones playing
what seems like one of the administrators of this Russian prison
camp that hopper is stuck in he typically plays assassins and really
badass killers on the other shows that he appears on too
he kind of did that during Game of Thrones so he definitely plays to a type
so it seems like he is the level up villain from the Russian Terminator
character last season that hopper went toe to toe with in the finale if it
wasn't clear because stranger things is all about parodying in referencing 80s
pop culture movies and TV shows this guy was supposed to be a version of Arnold
Schwarzenegger Terminator from the first movie everyone press F in the chat for
Alexei and speaking of funny coincidences David Harbour had a lot of
scenes with Alexei during stranger things season 3
David Harbour's character in The Black Widow movie is also named Alexei here's
what's gonna happen Natasha don't slouch I'm not slouching
you're going to get a big hug mother oh my god enough all of you it didn't say
that's not fair he's playing Red Guardian but his real name is Alexi so
it's just a funny coincidence that he's playing Alexi after having all these
scenes in stranger things season 3 with Alexi I know everyone's wondering how
hopper wound up in a Russian prison at the end of the season after that big
blast if he didn't travel through the upside-down portal right now the most
common sense theory is that everyone was probably disoriented from the blast long
enough for the Russians who did survive the blast to grabbed him in the
confusion before anyone like Joyce could notice or take the time to look around
the facility by the time the police and military made it down there it had been
long enough for the Russians to pack up everything that was left including that
that white demagogue and that they teased and then take them back to Russia
they probably just grabbed hopper to keep him from talking to the authorities
and reveal exactly what they've been doing next big question why are the
Russians constructing railway tracks in the middle of Siberia probably to build
a path so that they can hold their heavy equipment to another site where the
barrier between dimensions in the upside down is weakened up and they can try and
open another portal there early prediction that'll probably be where xi
and the others face off against the mind flayer for the last time the whole idea
of season 3 is that the russians were causing a lot of problems because they
were trying to reopen another gate to the upside down so the mind flayer will
probably try to take advantage of that to break in to our dimension again
hopefully because we're talking about big 80's references here they might use
that as an easter egg for the real world Chernobyl explosion the big nuclear
meltdown so there's some disaster that happens at the end of season 4 with the
mind flayer battle in this other portal the rest of the Russian government might
try to hide their actions by covering it up as a fake nuclear meltdown and so
that nobody will go to the site and poke around
oh it's radioactive there's all this fallout you can't go check and see what
happened there if you follow the stranger things writers on their Twitter
account - they've also tweeted a lot of the movies that inspire the season 4
storyline and they're all basically Prison Break movies I'm a fugitive from
a chain gang Papillon The Great Escape which is an awesome Steve McQueen movie
still acts 17 in Shawshank Redemption even if you haven't seen all those
movies you've probably seen at least one or two of them I don't think I need to
explain the plots of those because basic concept that they all share in common is
that people are stuck in prison in either trying to or successfully
breaking out surely that's what this season 4 trailer
footage is trying to set up hopper being stuck on Russian chain gang in the
middle of Siberia during the dead of winter and either trying to escape
himself or looking for help from other inmates or escaping with the help of 11
and the other kids even though all the younger kids are noticeably older than
the previous seasons they're still just barely approaching
high school so if they go to Russia they still need the help of someone like
Joyce or the teenagers at least like Steve and Robin and even though they're
the ones that stayed back in town like Stephen Robin they will be main
characters during season 4 again if anyone was worried that there were
people that weren't coming back for season 4
Billy was really the only part of that major group that was confirmed dead at
the end of the season and they could always bring him back as a hallucination
in people's minds so for the most part everybody is coming back but here's the
thing about season 4 in the possibility of a season 5 because everyone's
wondering how they're going to end stranger things what's the finale going
to be so in an interview the duffer's said one thing but then the producer
Shawn Levy kind of said another so the Deaf's claimed that the series
would be a four season thing and then out meaning that they planned to end it
after four seasons but then their producer Shawn Levy said that we're
definitely doing four seasons but there's also the possibility very much a
possibility of a fifth season so I think a lot of that just depends on their
filming schedule because the kids are aging up so fast that they want to try
and get these out as quickly as possible so there was some rumors a while ago
about them trying to film seasons four and five back-to-back but I haven't
heard any confirmation on that it is the possibility that yes there could be a
season five which is why you haven't heard Netflix say anything about a final
season yet they could also wind up doing a stranger things movie to wrap up the
series if they don't want to do a full season five but one of the huge
differences from season three is they revealed all their episodes scripts here
in this post and if you look at the stack here zoom in enhance there are
actually nine different scripts meaning nine different episodes for season four
instead of the traditional aid they did do nine episodes during season two but
that extra one was kind of four Elevens field trip so I'm just assuming that the
extra episode during season four is just to give them extra time with the story
to wrap up everyone's arcs if they don't do a season five but it does sound like
everyone's hopeful that they will because the series seems like it's more
popular than ever we probably won't find out about that for
while and if they do push to a season five that would also mean that they
don't have their final battle against the mind flayer at the end of season
four there's something that pushes them into a big battle on the upside-down for
season five they're gonna be filming again really soon but they only film for
about three weeks before they had to shut down because of the virus so maybe
we'll see you season four episodes by April or May next year but I'll be sure
to do an update video if Netflix post anything official about that everyone
