The Duffer Brothers compare the upcoming season of Stranger Things to Game of Thrones. According to the makers, Matt and Ross Duffer, Stanger Things Season 4 would be becoming like Game of Thrones. Stranger Things Season 1 became one of the most popular shows on Netflix when it came out in 2016. The 2nd and the 3rd season too managed to live up to the 1st. The fourth season is coming out soon in two phases.
So far, judging by the trailer, this season is going to be about some of the main cast like the Byers, Eleven, and Hopper being away from Hawkins. While the rest who are still in the city are shown exploring the Creel House. There might be something about the Mind Flayer.
Duffer Brothers’ statement on Stranger Things Season 4
Just like any other season, fans should be ready for some mind-boggling plot twists and surprises. The creators, Duffer Brothers, talked a little about the upcoming season in an interview with Deadline.
Matt Duffer said, “We kind of jokingly call it our Game of Thrones season because it’s so spread out, so I think that’s what’s unique or most unique about the season. Joyce and Byers family to have left at the end of Season 3. They are in California – we’ve always wanted to have that like ‘E.T’.-Esque suburb aesthetic, which we finally got to do this year in the desert; and then we have Hopper in Russia, and then of course we have a group remaining in Hawkins. So we have these three storylines, are all connected and kind of interwoven together, but it’s just very different tones.”
Ross Duffer added to Matt’s statement saying, “we didn’t know how big the season was going to get, and we didn’t even realize until we were about halfway through, just in terms of how much story that we wanted to tell this season. Game of Thrones is one thing we’ve referenced, but also for us really what it’s about is revelations, in that we really wanted to start giving the audience some answers.”
Stranger Things Season 4 Release Date and Main Cast
The upcoming season of Stranger Things will be released in two volumes. The first half of the season will be premiering on May 27, 2022. And the second half of the season comes out on July 1, 2022. It will be available for streaming on Netflix. The comparison with Game of Thrones speakers volumes about the level of the season. But Stranger Things must maintain the narrative that makes it stand out and not focus on CGI action.
The main cast is still the same. We will see Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, and Priah Ferguson reprise their roles.
