Stranger Things Season 4 Is Coming With Major Character Risks- Know Why

We all have a place, a person, or even a show as our comfort zone. After a long
tiring period, we always tend to go back and find joy in the little things. And
Netflix’s Stranger Things is one such go-to show for many of us. It seems like
we have grown up with the little rockstars of Hawkins town and have fought
bravely against the threats from Upside Down. Sure, it’s been a long time since
we last met our favorites, but the wait is finally over. Stranger Things season
4 will drop in this summer, to make it a little more bright and yellow.

But this good news came with its own portion of disappointments. Our favorite
thriller drama is coming to an end with its last two seasons. Further, with
season 4 being released in two parts in the month of May, showrunners might be
in the mood to put the show at a little risk.


HOW IS STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 AT RISK?

Although it took a lot more than the expected period to finally bring the fourth
season to our screens; the streaming service had already dropped its teaser
trailer as early as 2020. Later on, Netflix also released some other teaser
clips
[https://netflixjunkie.com/breaking-stranger-things-new-teaser-takes-us-inside-creel-house/]
revealing the fate of a few of its characters. Per the teasers, six months after
the battle of Starcourt, Eleven is now living with the Byres family in
California. Whilst those back in the town of Hawkins will be forced to fight
another nefarious threat from Upside Down
[https://netflixjunkie.com/science-explained-the-upside-down-from-stranger-things-can-actually-be-real/].
This one will probably be more dangerous than ever because it has its eye on the
entire universe.

The Duffer Brothers also revealed earlier how they are expanding the Stranger
Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things] universe beyond the small
township of Hawkins. This surely means that multiple settings and sup-plots will
come to play. But from what the recently released posters suggest; the release
method might lead to a little risk in the storytelling by splitting the
characters for a longer time.

From what we inferred
[https://netflixjunkie.com/stranger-things-season-4-cracking-all-the-easter-eggs-in-the-latest-posters-that-you-definitely-missed/]
from the posters; the first part of Stranger Things season 4 may have four key
subplots. Firstly, the posters suggest that Eleven will somehow be dragged back
to the mysterious Hawkins lab and even Dr. Martin Brenner. Second, with Hopper
imprisoned in Russia and Mike following Will and Eleven to California, there
will still be some major characters back in the town of Hawkins.

This leads to the next subplot in which Steve, Nancy, Dustin, Lucas, Max, Erica,
and Robin are still living in the small town. Although these subplots will bring
a lot of thrill, it also suggests that our beloved friends will stay separated
for a huge amount of time. And this is a piece of bad news indeed if we look at
our experience with the earlier seasons.

THE UPCOMING SEASONS ARE HERE TO TEST OUR PATIENCE

If you remember, earlier we did talk about how the fourth season will be
unwelcoming to fans. However, if you don’t remember, you can always read
everything about it HERE
[https://netflixjunkie.com/why-stranger-things-season-4-delay-is-unwelcoming-and-troublesome-to-fans/].
As you come back after reading it, you will surely agree with us that despite a
little detour now and then; the best moments came when the entire group was
together fighting against any threat that may possibly come.

We'll reportedly see more siblings of Eleven in Stranger Things season 4
[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

But now with this season being split into two halves, and with numerous
storylines, we are in to test our patience. Moreover, we do understand that with
a spinoff
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-stranger-things-spinoff-creators-shed-light-on-possible-new-stories-in-the-franchise/]
in mind, Duffer Brothers might have thought of adding such diversifying plots.
But for now, season 5 will officially bring Stranger Things to an end. And if
that is so, rather than stretching their separation, the show must focus on the
reunification of our beloved characters.

Do let us know in the comment section if you agree with us or not. The first
part of fourth season releases [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80057281] on
May 27th, only on Netflix.
