While everybody is so excited and desperate for Stranger Things Season 4, we know it is delayed because of you know who. As everybody is waiting patiently, all the creators, cast and crew of the series are doing their share to keep the excitement on the bay. Recently actor David Harbour revealed big things about Stranger Things Season 4.
The third season of Netflix’s sci-fi left everyone really worried and full of questions. Everybody is asking what happened to Hopper, or will Byers really leave Hawkins for good? What is the story behind the Russian Lab? We know this wait has started getting really difficult for the fans. So, here are all the updates about Stranger Things Season 4-
Stranger Things Season 4: Plot Details
The third season saw Joyce, Jonathan, and Will packing their bags and jumping in removals van after Hopper’s apparent death. However, it looks like they will come back in season 4. Whatever you throw at these kids, they always seem to reunite and save the day. One big thing we can look forward to is Eleven losing all her powers. She became so weak that she can’t even lift her teddy bear from the wardrobe. However, it looks like Mike will get all his psychokinetic abilities.
One fan theory suggests that maybe, Eleven has lost her powers because of the monster bite she got in the third season. If Eleven is infected, maybe Mind Flayer would be able to control her? Just like he did with Will and Billy? Could this be true? In the finale episode of the third season, viewers get to see a Mind Flayer like silhouette, or maybe was that just a tree? Who knows? We will get the answers soon.
Netflix
In an interview, Duffers revealed that the fourth season would open a little bit in special effects. This will allow plotlines outside of Hawkins. Whatever is coming up, it looks way too interesting.
Stranger Things Season 4 to explore Hopper’s Dark Side
By the end of the third season, Stranger Things left all viewers questioning if Chief Hopper was dead or still alive? Joyce had destroyed the key to Upside Down. Then in the post-titles, a reference of “The American” in Russian Jail came up, which gave all viewers a hope that Hopper may be alive. Later on Valentine’s Day, Netflix gave everyone a treat confirming that Chief Hopper was, in fact, alive and now in a prison camp in Russia.
Netflix
In a recent interview with Digital Spy actor David Harbour revealed what could be coming up in Stranger Things Season 4. He explained that the fourth season has some big revelations about Chief Hopper in store. Hopper’s mysterious background will finally take the foreground and unfurl.
Netflix
The actor confirmed that fans would get to see some of Hopper’s deep stories from the past. He added that he is very excited to deliver these deep dark shades of the character to the audience. Every season has witnessed a different shade of him. In the third season, fans saw him in wackier tones. The actor stated he loved playing that, and now in Season 4, Hopper is coming in a darker palette. Many deep things that the show has been hinted over the seasons will come out. In fact, Hopper and the mystery will be the highlight for Stranger Season 4. Harbour even hinted about monsters, horror, and scary things along with Indiana Jones’s kind of action. All this just makes the wait even exciting.
It doesn’t look like that. Stranger things was initially planned for four seasons. But taking into account the recent events, the show will have a longer run than four seasons. Producer Shawn Levy has revealed that Netflix is quite enthusiastic for more of the show. He reveals that a fifth season is possible, but beyond that is very unlikely.
Netflix
With that said, creators Matt and Ross Duffer have revealed that they already know the ending for the Stranger Things series. In fact, they have known it for some time now. The Duffer brothers revealed that they see each season as a complete story. They are big mythology, but season by the season, they are turning the pages and revealing more and more. They revealed that, in general, they know how the show would end.
Cast Returning For Season 4
We can expect most of Stranger Things cast to come back for the fourth season. This includes Millie Bobby, Finn Wolfhard, Winona Ryder, Noah Schnapp, Caleb Maclaughlin, Dustin Natalia, among the few. Priah Ferguson, who plays Erica, Lucas’s sister, will come back. In fact, she is now series regular. So, we will get to see more of her now. Fleabag star- Brett Gelman is also upped as series regular. The actor plays investigator Murray Bauman.
Netflix
There has been no official news about it, but we can assume that new faces could be joining the cast. Guest appearances are in line too. One of the guest stars includes Game of Thrones alumni Tom Wlaschiha. He is rumored to play a mysterious Russian soldier in Stranger Things Season 4.
We can assume some iconic actors as guest stars on board too. Creator Matt Duffer revealed that they have some cool guest stars for the fourth season. It is fun. David Harbour teased Indiana Jones’s kind of action, so would legend Harrison Ford be coming in for cameo? That would really increase the bar.
Release Date
Of course, with the ongoing global situation, everything is getting delayed. Stranger Things is no exception. The show has to change their production and release schedule, keeping in mind the current situation. In an Instagram live on March 2020, David Harbour revealed that the show would release earlier next year. However, he also added that it is likely to be pushed back from the date they originally decided.
The show was under-production when the global pandemic hit everyone, pausing everything. Because of that, the productions shut down Stranger Things Season 4. We can expect the show to release sometime around March 2020. With time, many more details about Stranger Things Season 4 would emerge. We will keep updating you with all the information as and when it comes. You stay tuned with us for all the updates.

One of the show creators, Ryan Murphy, also teased the series’s return. He always envisioned the show with the three seasons, and according to him, the third season will likely return. He said, “I would like to do, and I think all of us interested in it would apparently like to do three seasons total.”
Netflix
What To Expect From The Third Season?
In the third season, the fans will likely see Payton’s biggest election campaign ever. In the final moments of the second season, the story moves two years forward. He’s going uncontested in the forthcoming election and informs his team that he’s only concentrating on his current position and not advancing for another. But all that changes when Dede offers him the vice president’s place when she runs four years from now. Although he doesn’t give her approval, he will likely head to Washington.
The creator himself confirmed that in The Politician Season 3, the best position for Payton is to be the Vice president. In his recent interview, Ryan said, “That would certainly be a presidential race, right? That’s always what we had intended, and I think that’s what our plan is.” So the fans should prepare themselves because the biggest election campaign is on its way.
Netflix
The Politician Season 3: Release Date
The fans will have to face a long hiatus for having the third season of the show. And it’s not because of the production shutdown or pandemic. The creators are willing to take several years off for making the third season. Ryan Murphy revealed his plans about the third season in his recent interview. He said, “What I would like to do is get a couple of years off and have Ben Platt get a little older for his last race. I’m going to wait. He is young, so I want to wait several years to find out how we age him up a bit.”. Therefore it is possible that the fans have to wait till 2023 or even more for watching The Politician Season 3.

Recently, Ramy Season 2 saved its slot in Deadline’s Contenders Television virtual event. In which, showrunner Ramy Youssef explained more about the creation of the show. Further, his on-screen sister May Calamawy spoke about the show’s theme.
Ramy, created by Rami Youssef, Ari Katcher, and Ryan Welch is a comedy-drama series on Hulu. It follows Rami Youssef, a first-generation American Muslim, and his journey to his spiritual faith, who face challenges because of the diversified community from which he belongs. He’s caught between two different perspectives; one of the Egyptian Muslim communities thinks life’s a test. While the other millennial generation feels that life has no results. Despite this, he’s still trying to live life the way normally 20-somethings do like dating and chilling with friends.
Ramy Season 2: Ramy Spoke About Sheikh’s Character
How Mahershala Ali Joined The Show?
Recently, Deadline organized Contenders Television virtual event, where many popular series participated. In that, Rami reserved a slot for its season 2. During the panel discussion, Ramy explained Ali’s entry into the series. He said: “We were writing in the writer’s room for about a month. And then someone at Hulu called me and said, Hey Mahershala Ali loves your show and wants to talk with you on your phone”. That is how the two-time Oscar winner joined the series as a mentoring character Sheikh.
Ramy added that the thing they wanted to do with this character that they ended up calling Sheikh Ali. It is just showing someone who feels like a real leader of a mosque. His complications aren’t mimic. It’s just the complications someone would have in trying to run a place like that.
Ali Made The Show Look Spiritual
Earlier, they were thinking of creating some loose ends which would resolve in season 3. However, Ramy discovered that adding Sheikh’s character now is better. He said that it was an idea that he wanted to do towards the end of Ramy Season 2 into the third season. But then they get someone like Mahershala on the line. And they realized that this is to happen like right now. Ramy also believed that this Sheikh relationship helped them as a show to put Ramy in some real spiritual spaces, with some real things and real situations that he has to do, thus opposed to the spiritual.
May Discussing Female Sexuality Representation
May Calamawy, who played Dena Hassan’s character in Ramy, explained why the show’s avoiding exploring Muslim female sexuality. She said: “I remember the first season had a lot to do with sexual shame. In which, Dena getting operation over her body. Since she wants to feel accepted and beautiful. I’ve experienced that growing up. So it was cleansing for me and fun to do. But I remember telling Ramy that I don’t want this show to be about Dena having sex and discovering sex.”
May explained that it’s more about exploring the body. There are many things that the show can also explore, like finding their identity. May continued that she didn’t want the second season to be about a man. She wanted to portray how there are different areas of life like they can get an agency for women. It’s not just through men and the body, but work and how they put themself out there and taking space.
