The 4th season of Stranger Things took a long time to arrive. While the third year debuted in the catalog of Netflix in July 2019, the fourth part was released on streaming this Friday, May 27, 2022. After all, how much time has passed for the characters of the series in all that time?

As filming was delayed (either due to the pandemic or increased production scope), part of the production’s child cast is now adult (or nearly so). The public can see how Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Max (Sadie Sink) and Will (Noah Schnapp) are much older, but this is not addressed in the narrative, according to Screen Rant.

It is worth remembering how Stranger Things is intrinsically a story set in the 1980s, and that doesn’t change in season four, even as the timeline advances. Year 4 may not be too far off in the future, but there is a significant gap between seasons 3 and 4 of the series created by Matt and Ross Duffer.

Battle of Starcourt. Several characters in Hawkins they reference what the city went through in the previous year, and it makes sense how these events are still recent.
