Stranger Things Producer Says Season 4 Part II Will ‘Punch You Right in the Heart’

Stranger Things producer and Free Guy director Shawn Levy has teased Part 2 of the fourth season, warning Netflix audiences that it will “punch you right in the heart.” Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Levy offered some insight into what audiences can expect from the final two episodes of Stranger Things Season 4, which will land on Netflix in July.

“I’ll just tell you that we are hard at work on volume two. There’s so much being written as far as the runtimes of these episodes, and the hefty runtime of episode nine, in particular. Having seen both those finale episodes, they are as emotional as they are cinematic. Holy shit, they are definitely a treat for the eyes, but they punch you right in the heart. So, that’s what I’ll say about that.”

The final moments of season 4 left several storylines hanging, upping the stakes more than ever before. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that the last two lengthy episodes will leave our hearts aching. Stranger Things has now been confirmed to end with a fifth and final season. The first part of season 4 has already blown viewers away with all manner of twists, turns, and shocking revelations, with Shawn Levy and the team behind the Netflix show determined to end things on a high.

“Ending next season is all about finishing strong. We have phenomenal ideas for season five, and we don’t want to stick around past the point where we see our path with clarity and confidence. So, season five will no doubt be epic. It will be bittersweet for us to shoot and very bittersweet for audiences to watch. But hopefully, it’s also deeply satisfying because as we all know, as fans of many other shows, there’s few feelings as crummy as an unsatisfying ending — and there’s no chance in hell that we are going to give our passionate, loyal fans anything less than a deeply satisfying close in the final chapter.”

Stranger Things Season 4 Has Broken Netflix Records

The excitement over Stranger Things Season 4 has been palpable, and that is reflected in the viewership figures. The series set a new record for premiere for an English-language series on the streaming service, attracting some 286.79 million hours of viewership worldwide during its opening weekend. The influence of Stranger Things reaches out far beyond simply the show itself, with Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) leaping to number one on iTunes after being used in the series.

Starring Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, and Joe Keery, Stranger Things Season 4 picks up around six months after the Battle of Starcourt. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends is separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces thanks to a secret Soviet laboratory under Starcourt, which seeks to open the gateway to the Upside Down, allowing the entities from the Upside Down to possess people in Hawkins.

The first part of Stranger Things Season 4 is available now on Netflix, with the second part due to be released on July 1, 2022.
