Stranger Things 4, the fourth season of Stranger Things, was announced on September 30, 2019.[2] Unlike previous seasons, this season was released in the form of two volumes; the first volume, consisting of seven episodes, premiered on Netflix on May 27, 2022, followed by the final two episodes five weeks later on July 1, 2022.[3][4] The fourth season takes place in March 1986, eight months after the Battle of Starcourt that concluded the previous season. Notably, the season follows several storylines across a range of locations, including Hawkins, California, Nevada, Alaska and Russia. SynopsisIt's been eight months since The Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time - and navigating the complexities of high school hasn't made things easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery, that if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.[5] Plot SummaryIn 1986, the Party is going through rough times after the summer events in 1985. Eleven is having a hard time fitting in at Lenora Hills High School where she is the subject of bullying by a girl named Angela, her boyfriend Jake and their lackeys. Mike, Dustin and Lucas are members of the Hellfire Club, a Dungeons & Dragons club led by drug dealer Eddie Munson. Lucas is also part of the Hawkins High Basketball Team, led by Jason Carver. Max is suffering trauma and guilt due to Billy's death, frequently visits the school counselor Ms. Kelley, and has severed all ties with her friends. Nancy is working for the Weekly Streak, the schools’ newspaper, with her coworker Fred Benson, and Jonathan has become a drug addict with his friend Argyle, who works for Surfer Boy Pizza. Steve and Robin work at Family Video, and Robin struggles with her feelings for her crush Vickie. Powell has become Hawkins’s new Chief of Police in Hopper's absence. Mike comes to visit El and the Byers in California. Joyce gets mailed a Russian doll, and Murray suggests destroying the doll; upon doing so, Joyce discovers a note saying Hopper is alive. A humanoid covered in vines from the Upside Down, later dubbed "Vecna", targets Chrissy Cunningham, an emotionally distressed cheerleader from Hawkins High School and Jason’s girlfriend. While she is buying drugs at Eddie's trailer, she is transported to an alternate version of the trailer; a version made by Vecna. Her physical body floats up, her eyes suck in and her bones crack as Eddie watches in horror. She then falls dead. The police suspect Eddie is the murderer. Unsatisfied with the police’s investigation, Jason and his basketball team lead the town to believe Hellfire is a Satanic cult, and he and the rest of the basketball team try to track down Eddie. Dustin, Max, Steve and Robin find Eddie and question him about Chrissy’s death. Dustin and Eddie find the similarities to Vecna's curse, a concept from Dungeons & Dragons. Vecna then kills Fred in the same manner, and Nancy joins the group. Murray comes to Lenora Hills, and he and Joyce call a number written on the note. A Russian man with the codename “Enzo” (the restaurant at which Joyce and Hopper were supposed to have a date) directs them to go to Yuri's Fish n' Fly in Nome, Alaska. El eventually hits Angela with a roller skate at Rink-O-Mania and is incarcerated by the police, but the vehicle transporting her is intercepted by Dr. Owens and his agents Ellen Stinson, Harmon and Wallace. Max starts seeing a ticking grandfather clock in random places, and she eventually realizes she is next to be killed. Nancy learns from Wayne Munson, Eddie’s uncle, that a man named Victor Creel may be behind the murders. She and Robin arrive at Pennhurst Mental Hospital, where Victor is, tricking Director Anthony Hatch. They learn the history of the Creel house, and Victor believes that demons were behind the murders of his wife and daughter who were killed in the same way as Chrissy and Fred. Victor claims he somehow survived because of the music; Dream a Little Dream of Me by Ella Fitzgerald. Max is teleported to Vecna’s Mindscape while she is at a graveyard in front of Billy’s grave. There Vecna starts to kill her, but just in time Dustin, Lucas and Steve play her favorite song, Running Up That Hill Hill by Kate Bush. This opens up a gate to the real world for Max to escape through, and she does. Dustin, Lucas, Max, Nancy, Steve, Robin and Eddie investigate the Creel House and understand that Vecna’s base of operations is the Upside Down version of the attic of the Creel House. Hopper is in a prison in Kamchatka, the Soviet Union, and is in a deal with prison guard Dmitri Antonov, AKA Enzo, to call Joyce to Russia. Hopper even manages to flee the prison. Joyce and Murray arrive at Yuri’s Fish n’ Fly, where they learn that Yuri Ismaylov, the man transporting them, is a peanut butter smuggler. Yuri then double-crosses, drugs and kidnaps them to sell them to the prison and get even more money. He also reveals to the prison that Dmitri was working against them for the American prisoner, and both Hopper and Dmitri are put back in prison. Aboard the plane, Murray uses his karate skills to defeat Yuri and they crash land into Kamchatka. Meanwhile, Dmitri & Hopper learn that the guards have a monster in the prison ready to eat them and some other prisoners, and it doesn’t take long for Hopper to figure out that it is a Demogorgon. Hopper figures out a plan to thwart the Russian Demogorgon. Dr. Owens convinces Eleven to come with him to the Nina Project, a facility in the middle of the Nevada desert, where Eleven's powers are supposed to return. Upon seeing Dr. Brenner, Eleven initially attempts to flee, but agrees to stay for her powers to return. Stinson stations Wallace and Harmon at the Byers House to take care of Will, Mike and Jonathan. However, they are soon attacked by military commander Lt. Col. Jack Sullivan, who believes Eleven is the cause of the new murders in Hawkins, and his men; Wallace and Harmon are both shot. Argyle arrives with his pizza van and rescues Mike, Will, Jonathan and Agent Harmon. El is put in a sensory deprivation tank, and she relives several moments from her past at Hawkins Lab through CCTV footage. She finds out that Vecna is test subject 001, and gets back her powers. She then uses the Void to see what her friends in Hawkins are doing and see that they are planning against Vecna. Mike, Will, Jonathan and Argyle get coordinates of the Nina Project from Agent Harmon, who then dies. They then reach Salt Lake City, Utah, the home of the Binghams. There, Suzie prints out the location of the Nina Project. Joyce and Murray kidnap Yuri. Murray makes Yuri act as him, and he impersonates Yuri. Murray, Yuri and Joyce arrive at the prison just as the Russian Demogorgon is killing prisoners. Murray threatens the guards at the prison and Joyce opens the door for Hopper and Dmitri to escape, and they all reunite. They then discover cryogenically frozen Demodogs and even a sample of the Mind Flayer in the prison. The Russian Demogorgon rampages the prison. Jason’s friend Patrick McKinney is killed by Vecna over Lover's Lake. Dustin, Lucas, Max and Erica realize there are gates in each murder site called curse gates. Steve is pulled through Patrick’s curse gate, “Watergate”, by vines, to the Upside Down. There he is attacked by mutated bats named demobats before Nancy, Robin and Eddie save him. While they are in the Upside Down, they discover that the Upside Down is stuck in November 4, 1983, the day Will went missing. Meanwhile, Callahan and Powell question Dustin, Lucas and Max, and Karen, Ted, Lucas’s parents Sue and Charles and Dustin’s mother Claudia are worried that they are involved with Eddie. Eleven wants to go to Hawkins to help her friends fight Vecna with Dr. Owens but Dr. Brenner doesn’t let her, and drugs Eleven and incarcerates Dr. Owens. United States Military’s Lt. Col. Sullivan believes Eleven is behind the murders and arrives, along with a troop, at the Nina Project. Brenner leaves the building with Eleven but a sniper in a helicopter shoots him down. Eleven crashes the helicopter onto the building before the sniper could kill her. Eleven is rescued by Mike, Will, Jonathan and Argyle. Yuri is forced to bring Dmitri, Murray, Joyce and Hopper to his helicopter Katinka. Dmitri makes Yuri have a change of heart and Yuri fixes his helicopter. But Joyce realizes a gate is open in Hawkins; otherwise the Mind Flayer particles would be dormant. She, Hopper and Murray return to the prison to destroy the particles but discover that gunfire had destroyed the tanks holding the Mind Flayer particles and the Demodogs. The particles had gotten into the Demodogs and possessed them. While Max is baiting Vecna, Robin, Steve and Nancy head to the Upside Down to kill Vecna by burning his physical body. Eddie & Dustin distract the demobats from on top of Eddie’s trailer with his guitar by playing Master of Puppets by Metallica. Max thinks of a happy memory and is transported to the Snow Ball. Meanwhile, Eleven plans to “piggyback” on Max’s mind in the same way she learnt of Terry and Billy’s histories. Argyle brings her to a nearby Surfer Boy Pizza where they create a makeshift sensory deprivation tank. Dream a Little Dream of Me starts playing at the Snow Ball, which then slowly distorts and becomes the Upside Down Snow Ball, but in truth is just a figment of Vecna’s mind. Then Vecna arrives, followed by Eleven. Eleven confronts him but Vecna overpowers her and knocks out Max. He transports Eleven to his Mindscape and then brings Max Vecna reveals to Eleven what he did in the Upside Down, and Eleven tells him Brenner is dead. Vecna then kills Max through his curse while Jason is fighting Lucas. After successfully diverting the demobats’ attention, Dustin flees the Upside Down but Eddie decides to buy more time; unfortunately the demobats eventually kill him. Hopper baits a Demodog to the center of the prison, and soon all the Demodogs and the Russian Demogorgon arrive, but Murray burns them with a flamethrower from Yuri’s warehouse. Pained because of the hive mind of the Upside Down, Vecna starts howling. After successfully diverting the demobats’ attention, Dustin flees the Upside Down but Eddie decides to buy more time; unfortunately the demobats eventually kill him. The Russian Demogorgon survived the burn, but Hopper beheads it with a sword. Steve and Robin burn Vecna with Molotov cocktails and Nancy shoots him with a gun, but Vecna escapes. Dmitri and Yuri arrive with Katinka to rescue Joyce, Hopper and Murray. A new gate emerges where Max died in the attic of the Creel House, but this doesn’t stop expanding; it melts Jason, and then merges with all the other curse gates which also started expanding at the center of Hawkins. El revives Max but Max is comatose. Hawkins residents start fleeing the town. El, Mike, Joyce, Hopper, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, Robin and Erica reunite. Dustin comforts Wayne, and Robin speaks to her crush Vickie. They watch as the Upside Down slowly leaks into Hawkins, and particles rain down upon the town. Cast and characters
