Watch: Stranger Things Season 4 Trailer Introduces The Rainbow Room
Fans have been waiting patiently on season 4 of
Stranger Things to arrive for a long time now, and we’ve reached a point where it’s been fifteen months since the first teaser trailer was released, and yet set photos are still making their way online as shooting continues. Indeed, Netflix’s cultural phenomenon was hit hard by the Coronavirus pandemic, and star Finn Wolfhard even hinted that we might not be seeing the gang back on our screens until next year.
However, that hasn’t stopped Netflix from releasing another promo for what’s arguably the streaming service’s marquee TV show, and one that’ll surely be in with a genuine shot at toppling
Stranger Things Star Says Season 4 Might Not Arrive Until 2022
Time is running out for
Stranger Things, based only on how rapidly the core cast are aging out of their roles. The youngsters aren’t going to be able to pass themselves off as fresh-faced teens for much longer, while even the actors who actually play older teenagers in the show are all creeping closer towards 30.
Matters aren’t helped by the wait between seasons 3 and 4 of Netflix’s marquee episodic property, either, as the project faced some hefty delays as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Production was shut down for months not long after cameras had started rolling, but there were reports making the rounds several months back that the streaming service’s army of subscribers could tentatively be returning to Hawkins this summer.
Netflix Is Now Making It Harder To Share Passwords
Sharing your
Netflix password with friends and family is a pretty common experience, especially if you have a plan that lets you play content on multiple devices without being in one place. However, doing so isn’t ideal business for the online giant, who are apparently starting to crack down on the practice.
According to reports, some viewers are now getting messages that check whether they’re using their own accounts or not. What this means is that when someone logs into Netflix, they receive a message asking if they live with the person who pays the bill, and to enter a confirmation code sent by email or text. If that’s not possible, an option then becomes available to set up a new profile. This warning currently seems to only be affecting anyone watching on a television so far, and does not include situations where you’re all under one roof.
Millie Bobby Brown Rumored To Be Getting Stranger Things Spinoff
As much as Netflix would no doubt love to keep it running for as long as possible given its status as a bona fide cultural phenomenon and the crown jewel of the platform’s original episodic lineup,
Stranger Things feels as though it’ll be drawing to a close sooner rather than later, with the fifth season regularly rumored to be the last.
A great deal of the show’s appeal comes from the interactions between the younger cast members, and they’re all going to age out of their respective roles eventually, even though the industry admittedly has no problem with people in their 20s or 30s attempting to pass themselves off as teenagers.
