The pandemic has impacted production significantly across the board. Release dates are being
pushed all over the place, some productions halted work due to confirmed COVID cases,
and then some shows are getting canceled despite earlier renewals due to the current circumstances.
There’s no minimizing the devastating effects the pandemic is having on the industry (and
beyond), but I’ll take a silver lining wherever I can get one, and apparently Stranger Things
4 has pivoted for the better in one particular way. Last month, we found out that cameras
were rolling on the fourth season of the iconic Netflix series courtesy of a photo shared
on the official Netflix Twitter account. While the photo was an encouraging sign that things
were moving forward again, one can’t help but wonder how much this delay really affected
production and what it means for the season’s release date. Well, according to the show’s
producer Shawn Levy, he thinks the show's filming delay could've actually made it even
better than before. Levy spoke with Collider recently about his upcoming Netflix series Dash
& Lily. At the same time, he offered an update on Stranger Things' progress, saying their
premiere date is still to be announced, which means that we will not get a release date
reveal this Friday on Stranger Things Day for sure. The positive side of it stems from
the writing process and how the months-long delay changed it. Levy explained:
“I’ll just say the pandemic definitely massively delayed shooting and therefore the
launch of our current Season 4, date still TBD. But it impacted very positively by allowing
the Duffer brothers, for the first time ever, to write the entire season before we shoot
it and to have time to rewrite in a way that they rarely had before so the quality of these
screenplays are exceptional, maybe better than ever.”
Back in June, the Stranger Things writers revealed all the scripts for season 4 had
been completed, which was well ahead of their production restart. Clearly, the writers took
the time to fine-tune the story for season 4 and hopefully made it even stronger. The
past three seasons of Stranger Things were very well-regarded, but there's a chance its
fourth go-around could reach even bigger heights. This is certainly good news and will likely
raise fans' expectations even higher. Per Levy's update, Stranger Things season 4 still
has a ways to go production-wise, but the extra wait might have been for the best in
the end.
But that is not the only news tidbit that we have to discuss. Here’s a small clip
from a game collaboration between Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson, and the famous
gamer Ninja. Take a look.
Very interesting. It seems to me that this indeed confirms that they are filming this
out of order, much like a Hollywood blockbuster and unlike the previous seasons or typical
tv shows. As for what this means for Stranger Things 4, it most likely means that certain
scenes such as Hopper in Russia, which they have shot early on during the year at Lithuania,
probably have scenes from episode 8 as well. It is worth noting that season 4 will have
9 episodes so maybe production on that won’t start until much later on. But as we head
into the sixth week of production, we should now have in mind that a lot of scene being
shot right now are from different episodes altogether, which should throw off a lot of
people from speculating how they fit next to each other. The scene of the Video Family
from two weeks ago is probably from episode 7 for all we know. It is also possible that
the reason Mike wasn’t seen at all this past month is because he will not be with
those characters at that point in the story. There is a lot of evidence building up that
seems to hint at Mike sharing scenes with Eleven and Will at their new home wherever
that will be. Maybe this season will take place during spring break and Mike will spend
the entire season there with the Byers.
And that is all that we have for today. What do you think of these new details for Stranger
Things 4?
