With Netflix announcing wraps for production of The Witcher Season 2, it is speculated that Stranger Things Season 4 release announcement isn’t probably far behind. Production work for Netflix’s original web series Witcher started in February last year while Stranger Things started in March 2020. Both of them started and paused filming around the same time last year.
When does Stranger Things Season 4 come out?
Matarazzo has been quick to say that any dates pertaining to Stranger Things 4 are a guesstimate. In the current pandemic scenario, the filming schedule appears to be very fluid.
when we’re gonna be filming next, when we’re gonna be wrapping up, when release is gonna be, all that jazz because we still don’t know on day-to-day if we’re gonna be filming next week.

Netflix has not announced the release date officially. It is expected since Season 4 is in the process of principal photography and no dates can be predicted. A lot many tasks are pending like editing into episodes, post-production work incorporating VFX and BTS elements that will push the date. We are staring again at the question- When is Stranger Things Season 4 coming out?
In the absence of any leads on Stranger Things Season 4 release date on Netflix, people will continue to speculate. There are several theories about when Stranger Things Season 4 release will happen. Let us visit them and hope the one hinting at the earliest of all turns out true.
Each season of Stranger Things release is centered around an American Holiday. Stranger Things Season 1 was Christmas, Season 2 was Halloween and Season 3 was the 4th of July. Also, at the conclusion of season 3, Thanksgiving was referenced several times as characters were saying goodbye to each other.
Considering the release dates of past Seasons of Stranger Things, Thanksgiving 2021 might turn out true to be the holiday theme of Stranger Things 4. The release date of 25th November will coincide with the holiday.
Taking into account the current pandemic situation and progress made, Season 4 will arrive in 2022. Finn Wolfhard who plays the role of Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things said in an online chat with Fanmio that fans should not expect the 2021 release. “Season 4 … it should be out sometime next year, hopefully.”
Even Netflix in its earnings announcement did not reveal its plans for Stranger Things season 4 release date in 2021. Though it made reference to big hits like Sex Education Season 3, The Witcher, La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist), and You web series premiering in the second half of 2021.
Will there be Stranger Things Season 5?
Yes, Season 4 is not going to be the final season of the web series. The makers have penned out the ending. Stranger Things Season 5 will likely be the finale. Similar sentiments have been conveyed by co-creator Ross Duffer.
Season 4 won’t be the end. We know what the end is, and we know when it is.
co-creator Ross Duffer told THR
