Unfortunately, that means he’s grown apart from OG mates Will (Noah Schnapp) and Mike (Finn Wolfhard). After being bullied as a youngster, he’s been accepted into a cooler crowd at high school: Hawkins High’s basketball team. “She comes to the realisation that this is a pretty serious, dangerous situation she’s putting herself into.”įor Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), who’s played a major part since the very first episode, much has changed too. “With Erica stepping in as a leader, I think it’s made her understand more about what’s been going on for the past three seasons,” Ferguson explains. So far, we’ve mostly seen Erica (Priah Ferguson) through the lens of being Lucas’ little sister, but this season sees her move into the spotlight on her own terms. There are big changes, too, for the much-loved Sinclair siblings. “She used her wicked intelligence to help fight the Russians last season and I think you’ll see her learn a lot about what’s going on in the world of Hawkins,” she says,” and use her brilliant mind to tackle those things as well.” Hawke points to Robin being a bit braver now. In Stranger Things season four, each character has been pushed forward – by the terrifying things they’ve experienced so far, and also just because they’re older and wiser (in most cases). CREDIT: Courtesy of Netflix We catch up with all of our old pals Maya Hawke, who plays Robin in ‘Stranger Things’. “It ends up being the biggest threat that Hawkins has ever had to face.” “We’ve never had a creature like them, that is just so calculated,” Sadie Sink – AKA skateboarding high schooler Max Mayfield – adds. “He’s slimy, he’s wet, he’s really bad – you don’t want to come across him in a dark alley,” warns Keery, who plays jock-turned-nice-guy Steve, of the Pinhead and Pennywise-inspired monster. “He’s the head of the Dungeons & Dragons club at Hawkins High – he’s about heavy metal and D&D,” explains Quinn of the long-haired new figure, who plays a pivotal role in this season.Įqually integral – and much more frightening – is the latest villain to threaten life in Hawkins: Vecna. With the younger group of Hawkins’ teens now in high school, they’re exposed to a ton of new people, including Eddie Munson, played by British actor Joseph Quinn. We have some notable newbies in season four – including one human and another… less human introduction. But what’s that? A horrifying new creature is creeping ever closer? Here’s Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers – and some of the stars – to tell you what comes next… There’s a compelling new classmate and the creepiest monster yet Back in Hawkins, everyone is starting high school. The gang are still shaken and scattered, with Eleven (Bobby Brown) moving to California and surrogate dad/police chief Hopper (David Harbour) presumed dead but actually in a snowy Russian prison thousands of miles away. We pick up six months after the Battle of Starcourt, and the defeat of latest scary monster The Mind Flayer. Almost three years have passed since then, and the pandemic-enforced absence has only increased expectations. Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard and the rest of its child stars are now mega-famous adults ( with massive Instagram accounts), while 18.2 million people streamed season three in its first four days online. Stranger Things is perhaps the biggest show on TV – and its return the most highly anticipated this year.įirst catching fire in 2016 as one of Netflix’s early sci-fi series, the smalltown story of a young girl with supernatural powers called Eleven has since reached another level. None of them can, of course, reveal anything more about this multitude of Ricks (spoilers!) – but that just adds to the intrigue. “Great line,” agree co-stars Joe Keery and Natalia Dyer, grinning as they remember the scene. “Mine’s: ‘That’s a lot of Ricks’,” says Maya Hawke, who plays ice cream-slinging teen Robin in the hit show. They’re currently picking their fave lines from the new episodes. It’s roughly two weeks before the release of Stranger Things season four and the cast are chatting to NME via video call, swapping stories for our entertainment.
