Stranger Things 4 is the longest season of the flagship Netflix series. But we didn’t
know how long, until now. When the reputable news outlet TheWrap chatted with the Duffer Brothers,
the creators of the show who also directed five episodes this season, they asked if they
knew that season 4 would be this gargantuan. Matt Duffer explained that their line producer
came to them and said that it would be double what Season 3 was in terms of scope and scale.
“A lot of it had to do with the fact that we had characters spread out in three locations
and we had a lot more plot. It must be quadruple the plot we had in Season 3.
That was our fun blockbuster season. This season we knew that Season 5 was going to be our last,
we had to start revealing a lot.”
Stranger Things season 4 takes place over a handful of locations, with the story following
Eleven and the Byers as they adjust to their new life in a sunny, California suburb; the
rest of the Hawkins gang as they deal with a new, Freddy Kruger-style villain from the Upside Down;
and Jim Hopper in captivity in a Russian prison. “The more we were writing, the more we realized
we need more time in order for these reveals to land, in order for these storylines to work,”
Matt Duffer said. “Partway through we knew we needed to ask Netflix for nine episodes
instead of eight and as we started shooting we realized, Oh these are mega-long episodes.”
While the interview didn’t reveal any new major spoilers and plot details,
it seems safe to say that these new episodes are basically feature-length films. Each time you sit
down to watch Stranger Things 4 this summer, you’ll actually be getting a little movie.
“Seven and nine in particular are movies,” Matt Duffer said. “And nine is a long movie.”
When asked how long, Ross Duffer said: “We’re still refining it but we will say that it is over
two hours. It’s a big one.” Considering the wait between seasons 3 and 4 was nearly three years,
at the very least these super-sized episodes will give fans extra time to savor the new
stories before the show returns for its fifth, and final season.
This is crazy. A two long finale? We definitely can’t wait to see how long
and epic that final battle will be. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. Are you
excited to see the summer blockbuster season finale for Stranger Things 4?
