Stranger Things: Season 4 explains the show’s mysteries, says producer
The first half of season 4 of Stranger Things brought more mysteries to the audience and new monsters. However, according to the producer Shawn Levifinal episodes should begin to answer questions.
Not leaving the public in doubt is one of the brothers’ goals duffer – creators of Stranger Things – during the final stretch of the series, which ends in Season 5: “They said, ‘You know what? It’s a good time for answers. Explain what’s going on.’ The episodes reshape everything we know about the supernatural villains of Hawkins. It’s certainly a starting point for what’s to come,” he explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
“There’s no way we can deliver our loyal and passionate fans an unsatisfying ending to the last episode,” he continued. “We [Shawn e os Duffer] We do projects for the public. We are not telling stories to ourselves. We count to achieve popular appeal. In the world there are many series that end poorly.”
Since the first season, the series about the children/teens of Hawkins is surrounded by mysteries – such as the origin of monsters and explanation about the powers of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). None of these questions will go unanswered, according to Levi.
