Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is now in California with Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and her family. She is living a regular life—dealing with school, bullies and other teenage drama—until stranger things begin to happen, again. On the other hand, those believed to be dead in Season 3—Jim Hopper (David Harbour), after helping to close the gate between the real world and the Upside Down, is in fact alive and working on an icy railroad in Russia alongside other prisoners.
Stranger Things Season 4 Web Series Cast, Episodes, Release Date, Trailer and Ratings
Stranger Things 4 — now streaming on Netflix — is bigger than before, that's for sure. Nearly every chapter in the seven-episode Volume 1 is longer than 70 minutes, with Stranger Things season 4 episode 7 clocking in at 100 minutes. Thanks to the three-year gap between seasons, the kids are more grown-up than ever. I can imagine some viewers being thrown by how some of the actors have outgrown their characters. They are so visibly bigger that Stranger Things 4 ends up using de-aging tech on teenagers for flashback scenes, usually a tactic reserved for older actors such as Robert De Niro in The Irishman, or Samuel L. Jackson in Captain Marvel. While it revisits some old horrors in places, Stranger Things 4 also throws more CGI monsters at us.
