Here's everything about Stranger Things Season 4 that we know and everything else that we are finding the answers for!

Production of Stranger Things Season 4 is reportedly suspended due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and the release might be delayed from the earlier estimation of "early 2021," according to David Harbour, who plays fan-favorite Jim Hopper.

But despite the delay, interesting speculations and leaks have started making their way to social media as fans keenly await for one of the most popular shows.

The fourth season of the show has already been confirmed but questions from even the Season 3 have been bugging fans, especially after the post-credits scene showed a Hopper-like character alive, any debate about even the new Stranger Things Season 4 in just isn't complete without that question.

Stranger Things Season 4 was confirmed in 2017 itself when the Duffer Brothers said In an interview with Vulture in 2017, they suggested that they will end it after four seasons but producer Shawn Levy later sparked hope for another season 5 saying enthusiasm from Netflix and its child stars may well have convinced Duffer Brothers.

"The truth is we're definitely going four seasons and there's very much the possibility of a fifth," Levy said. "Beyond that, it becomes I think very unlikely."

Another season after the fourth also seems likely because Netflix would want to hold on to the army of fans that come with Stranger Things, especially after the increased competition in the industry by the likes of Prime Video, Disney+, Apple and others.
