About this episode
The fourth season of the American science fiction horror drama television series Stranger Things, marketed as Stranger Things 4, was released worldwide on the streaming service Netflix in two volumes. The first set of seven episodes was released on May 27, 2022, while the second set of two episodes was released on July 1, 2022. The season was produced by the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, along with Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, Iain Paterson and Curtis Gwinn.
Returning as series regulars are Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Cara Buono, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Matthew Modine and Paul Reiser, while Brett Gelman was promoted to series regular after recurring in the previous two seasons. Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Quinn, and Eduardo Franco joined the main cast. Mason Dye, Tom Wlaschiha, Sherman Augustus, Nikola Đuričko, and Joe Chrest appear in recurring roles.
The season was met with critical acclaim. Critics praised the performances (particularly those of Harbour, Brown, McLaughlin, Sink, Dyer, Keery, Bower, and Quinn), the visuals, action sequences, soundtrack, emotional weight, and the darker, more mature tone, though some criticized the season for feeling bloated and overstuffed due to its expanded cast and significantly longer episode runtimes.[1][2][3] The first volume of the season received 13 nominations for the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, including Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, winning five.
