Season 3 ended on a big cliffhanger that left the internet reeling, with fan theories grasping for ways to explain the disappearance of Jim Hopper, played by David Harbour. Leading up to last week’s not-so-shocking yet surprising reveal, Harbour had remained coy about Hopper’s fate. 

Telling TheWrap earlier this year, Harbour said: 

Stranger Things Season 4 is set to release on Netflix sometime this year. Considering production is still in the early stages, a November or December air date is most likely, though the streaming company has yet to share anything definitive. Stay tuned to GameSkinnt for more on Stranger Things.
