I love David Harbour simply not being able to say 'Grandma' without breaking. The way he delivers the line is rather funny.

I think that was well worth the price of admission.

First official teaser for Season 4. And I cannot imagine anyone is really surprised by the end, considering how Season 3 ended.

THR interview with the Duffers about S4

And the important tidbits:
 

Quote

What's the status of shooting season four?

ROSS Everyone's excited to get back to work, but the priority is the safety of the cast and crew, and that will dictate when we go back.

MATT We've had a lot more time to work on the scripts. For the first time, we have all the scripts written and we're able to look at it as a whole piece and make adjustments.

Will season four be the last?

ROSS Season four won't be the end. We know what the end is, and we know when it is. [The pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story.

OUTSTANDING SOUND EDITING FOR A COMEDY OR DRAMA SERIES (ONE HOUR) - Chapter Eight: The Battle Of Starcourt

Looks like Season 4 filming is restarting:

 

[krankydoodle]

I'm really looking forward to seeing Robert Englund and Tom Wlaschiha. Of the other actors listed, I only recognize Jamie Campbell Bower though I've never really gotten his appeal, but all the character descriptions sound interesting.

ETA: That seems like a lot of people to add to an already sizable ensemble.

I hadn't seen the additions, except for Robert Englund. 

I loves me some Jaqen H'ghar though! 

[Cranberry]

The character descriptions are interesting and I'm intrigued, but eight new male characters and zero new female characters? Weird. Maybe they're introducing some new women later... although I agree that even these eight guys are a lot to add to an already-large cast.

New promo!

More casting information:

The Netflix breakout has added Amybeth McNulty, Myles Truitt, Regina Ting Chen and Grace Van Dien in recurring parts. All four will play characters connected to Hawkins High School in the fourth season, which is in production in Atlanta. 

The Duffers are apparently big Anne of Green Gables fans and specifically wanted McNulty on the show:

It’s October, 1983. There’s a monster lurking in Hawkins, Indiana, chewing people up, spitting them out. And Robin Buckley knows exactly what this monster’s name is: Hawkins High School.

Rebel Robin: Surviving Hawkins is the podcast companion to the forthcoming YA novel, Stranger Things: Rebel Robin by acclaimed author A.R.

I hope the character is good because the cast was already bloated to begin with. Great that this time it is another girl, but I always worry when a character is created or cast just to have the actor.

Cobra Kai is New Years I believe. Netflix has a tendency to space out popular shows so their premieres don't coincide. I was hoping for February-March though. 

Trailer looks interesting. It looks like most of it will take place California/west rather than Hawkins? I'm hoping for more El character development/coming of age/existentialism over the mind flayer arc that has consumed the show for the past 3 seasons.

From Netflix on Facebook:

———————

Stranger Things fans, at long last we can finally reveal when the new season will be premiering!! 

Stranger Things 4 is coming to you in two parts: Volume 1 premieres May 27 and Volume 2 quickly follows on July 1.

Not only is Stranger Things 4 going to be the most intense season so far, but it’s also going to be the biggest!  Nearly every episode is super-sized — literally! That means Season 4 is 2x as long as Season 3! 

And the reason Season 4 is so jam-packed with new locations, new characters, and the biggest threat yet is because these episodes set up the show’s final act! 

Yes, Season 5 will be the epic conclusion to this story — which is how the creators have always envisioned it.

While this chapter is coming to an end, the Duffers believe there are more new adventures and stories to be told.

If it wasn’t before, it is now; thanks to all the unavoidable COVID-associated delays, all their cast “kids” are hitting the 18-to-21yo age mark IRL this year - which makes maintaining the “fresh-faced kids just learning how to navigate high school” facade that much more difficult.

What about the actors playing the older teens?  They’re all closer to their 30s now then teens.  They all might be 30 when the show is done.

Max levitating??

Also (not original with me), when Max is sitting in front of her brother's grave it says "Billy Hargrove".  But in the levitation scene it says "William Hargrove".

Maybe it got damaged and had to be replaced?

Considering the unavoidable but considerable realtime gap between seasons, we’re lucky we’re not saying that in terms of describing half the cast….

I wonder if they just digitally edited his tombstone for the opening of the  trailer because they thought the average viewer wouldn't recognize that William = Billy.

[Quilt Fairy]

I think the levitating scene might be mostly CGI and the continuity person just messed up.
