The news lines up well with what actress Cara Buono, who plays Karen Wheeler, said recently. The actress made some comments about the release, saying “We start shooting Season 4 in October,” causing fans to speculate a 2020 release.

This filming schedule is definitely possible. Filming in October would put the fourth season two months ahead of season three’s production schedule which took 14 months total.

Given the season’s snowy conclusion, the Duffer brothers could be in for delivering us a special Christmas gift.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer’s revealed the Stranger Things gang could be leaving Hawkins, IN.

According to the pair, the fourth season already feels “very different” from season three. They added that they will “open up a little bit” in terms of plot, which means we might be seeing a lot more than just the Hawkins pool and mall.

“I think the biggest thing that’s going to happen is it’s going to open up a little bit, not necessarily in terms of scale, in terms of special effects, but open up in terms of allowing plotlines into areas outside of Hawkins.,” Matt Duffer said in the interview.

This is all very exciting news, particularly if you’re invested in finding out the fate of a certain character who could or could not be in Russia as of the final scene of the third season.
