To the surprise of almost no one, Netflix has renewed the enormously successful Stranger Things for a fourth season. Judging by the teaser video, it seems the series’ core setting might not be long for this world. It tells us “We’re not in Hawkins anymore” while ominous Upside Down-style fauna engulfs a “Welcome to Hawkins” sign and the show’s logo. Creepy.
‘Stranger Things’ renewed for Season 4, obviously. Finally leaving Hawkins, too!
Stranger Things is getting a Season 4. Which seems like an obvious move. However, even better news is that the show is going to move beyond Hawkins.

Along with the renewal, Netflix said it signed the show’s creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, to a multi-year film and series overall deal. “From our first pitch meeting to the release of Stranger Things 3, the entire team at Netflix has been nothing short of sensational, providing us with the kind of support, guidance, and creative freedom we always dreamed about,” the brothers said in a statement. “We can’t wait to tell many more stories together — beginning, of course, with a return trip to Hawkins!”
It’s not clear when we’ll get to catch up with Eleven and the gang for their fourth season. There was a lengthy gap between the second season (October 2017), and the third one, which arrived in July. Some of the Stranger Things cast are also working on other projects, so it remains to be seen when the Duffers will get everyone back together for another trip to Hawkins.
