Twilight And Westworld Stars Join Stranger Things Season 4

We might have to wait quite some time until we get to see the latest series of Stranger Things, but season four looks set to be the most dramatic yet of the sci-fi drama.

Netflix has now announced the show, which serves as a love letter to 1980's America, will welcome a new set of faces joining Eleven and co. for more madness and mystery.

Stranger Things writers have since said the new series will be "better than ever" after filming was delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking with Collider, producer Shawn Levy said that the pandemic had allowed writers and creators Matt and Ross Duffer to rewrite elements of the script and finesse the screenplay ahead of filming.

"I'll just say the pandemic definitely massively delayed shooting and therefore the launch of our current Season 4, date still TBD," he said.

"But it impacted very positively by allowing the Duffer brothers, for the first time ever, to write the entire season before we shoot it and to have time to rewrite in a way that they rarely had before, so the quality of these screenplays are exceptional, maybe better than ever".
