And now, let us begin...
Stranger Things 4 is officially 7 days away! The wait is literally almost over. One week
ahead of the highly anticipated Stranger Things 4, Netflix has dropped the first 8 minutes
of the season in a sneak peek, as well as announcing the episode counts for both upcoming
volumes. The first volume will consist of the bulk of the season, with seven of the
nine episodes releasing May 27. The remaining two episodes will be released on July 1 as
Volume 2 of the season. The episodes for the season are significantly longer than in previous
seasons of the show, with most episodes running at 75 minutes and Episode 7 running for 98
minutes. In addition, Netflix’s fan content website Tudum confirmed Friday morning that
Episode 8 will run 85 minutes, while the season finale’s runtime will near two and a half
hours long. The plan to split the seasons into two parts was first announced by series
creators Matt and Ross Duffer this February, in an open letter to the show’s fans posted
on the official Netflix site. At the time, the two explained the decision was a result
of the length of the season, which is nearly twice as long as any previous installment.
They also described the split as a way to provide fans with new episodes of the show
as early as possible, after pandemic-related delays resulted in a nearly 3-year gap between
seasons.
In addition to that, in a shrewd marketing move, Netflix shared the first eight minutes
of season 4 to YouTube on Friday, ensuring the discussion surrounding the show’s return
continues in the days ahead. The first 8 minutes of Stranger Things season 4 is officially
released in full HD glory, so we won’t have to see leaked images, videos, or audio recordings
of it anymore! This opening scene of season 4 brings back Matthew Modine's Doctor Martin
Brenner for a thrilling little flashback sequence set in Hawkins National Laboritory in September
8, 1979, as Brenner is working in his X-Men-style hospital with psychically-gifted children.
The video itself is very gruesome, and I’m really worried about seeing little kids dying
brutally on my TV screen. They weren’t lying when they said that season 4 would be the
darkest season of the series yet. One thing I find interesting here in this scene is that
there are more numbers than 11, meaning that Eleven was not the last test subject at Hawkins
Lab. Is 13 the last one or are there more? We shall see when Stranger Things 4 comes
out in exactly one week!
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What theories do you have for Stranger Things 4
based on the first 8 minutes? Are you excited to see the first 7 episodes next Friday?
