Stranger Things 4 will be the most epic season ever according to Shawn Levy

The fourth season of Stranger Things, the hit Netflix series created by the Duffer brothers and produced by Monkey Massacre Productions and 21 Laps Entertainment, is now in production following delays due to the pandemic. After the third season ended on a cliffhanger that left fans in suspense, many are wondering how the story will continue in the new season. Speaking of which, Stranger Things executive producer Shawn Levy has revealed that Season 4's narrative reach will be the most epic ever. But let's take a closer look.

Stranger Things 4: What to Expect

The third season of Stranger Things premiered more than two years ago and left the audience in suspense. The season ended with the alleged death of Jim Hopper, who disappeared in an explosion after Joyce closed the gate to the Upside Down during the Battle of Starcourt. His death, however, was later denied by the same actor who plays the character, David Harbor, according to whom Jim Hopper is actually alive and held captive in a camp in Kamchatka, Russia. Another open point of Season 3 is the fact that the entire Byers family has left Hawkins forever and it looks like both of these points will become critical to the development of Stranger Things 4.

Shawn Levy, Stranger Things executive producer revealed during an interview with Slash Film that Stranger Things 4 will be more epic than ever. Although he has decided not to reveal any new plot details, he has confirmed that the new season is “bigger” and “more mature” than the previous ones.

“Both things are true. It is an epic narrative. The scope of the storytelling is more epic and cinematic than we've ever attempted before. "

After all the clues left here and there, now Shawn Levy's words confirm that Stranger Things is expanding beyond the original storyline. While the first three seasons were mostly contained in a specific place, namely Hawkins, the new season seems to be leaving that place behind. Given that Hopper is a prisoner in a Russian camp, it wouldn't be a surprise to see a lot of scenes unfold there. In addition, the Byers family will have to take root in another city, and this alone will lead to exploring new places. Not to mention that according to Levy, Stranger Things 4 will be more cinematic than before, and that can only mean that there will be more special effects and large-scale scenes. In short, it really seems that the new season will be the most epic of all.
