Finally, on 2 October, Netflix took to social media to share the news about resuming the shoot for Stranger Things 4. Recently, a few photos were shared on internet from the set of the show. The cast of Stranger Things can be seen in the pictures at Hawkins High School. Moreover, all these information has revealed a few things about the show. Check them out in the next section.
What has been revealed so far!
The story line of the show has not been revealed yet. However, the teasers and other internet posts have made some revelations. We have compiled them for you, check them out! Firstly, the teaser released in February disclosed that Jim Hopps is still alive. He is in a Russian prison camp, working as a labor. This plot twist was the major relief as people were extremely sad when Hopps died in the previous season.
Secondly, the recently released photos from the set of Stranger Things 4 showed the kids in a school. One of the pictures featured Max and Dustin, which implies that the kids have finally entered Hawkins high school after three seasons.

Moreover, another picture shows Nancy at the stairs of High School. Hence people are guessing either she was there to pick her brother Mike, or maybe got a job at school.
Finally, there are a few guesses going around regarding the new season. Apparently, Netflix posted the similar photo, with different caption, “Now in Hawkins”.

The theories state that the same picture is set in real world as well as Upside Down. Hence, it could suggest the distinction between the two worlds no longer matter. Maybe the Russians’ project destroyed the distinction leading the two worlds to merge.

In addition, another guess based on ‘Stranger writers’ post, hints the show is set in the winter season. Every season has been around some festival or an event. This year, the show might involve a major Basketball game. Also winters mean Mike and Eleven might be reunited around Christmas, as they mentioned in Season 3.
