Stranger Things’ journey to life

Shawn Levy founded 21 Laps Entertainment, a production house that has several acclaimed projects under its belt. It co-produced big titles like Arrival, The Darkest Minds, Night at the Museum, and most recently, The Adam Project. The Vice President at 21 Laps, pitched Shawn the pilot of Stranger Things. Shawn instantly fell for it and invited the Duffer Brothers to his office. Originally, he was only going to fulfill the role of a producer for the show; but they weren’t finished writing the script for season 1 when episodes 1 and 2 were already shot, so Levy took up directing for 3rd and the 4th episode so the Duffers could focus on writing the rest of the season.

Shawn then continued to direct 2 episodes every season. Stranger Things 4 has no risk of not living up to the expectations; because the star cast is already a hit and the makers are experienced. The episodes are long enough for the audiences to quench their long thirst. Critic reviews for the new season reflect the same.
