The Stranger Things poster includes many things that we already saw in the Season 4 trailer and sees the incoming villain, Vecna, looming large over The Party and fresh faces like Eddie Munson. Kyle Lambert, the creative mind behind the Season 4 poster, did an excellent job painting homage to the posters from previous seasons as well as ’80s horror movies.
Lambert shared the artwork on Instagram, thanking Netflix for trusting him to commission the project. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Season 4 Volume 1 will arrive nearly three years from the date that Season 3 ended. However, unlike in real life, the events of the show will pick up six months following the Battle of Starcourt. The group, now separated for the first time in a long while, must face off against a “new and horrifying supernatural threat” as well as a “gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.” Netflix is hyping the latest season of Stranger Things as the show’s biggest yet. According to reports, Netflix is spending so much per episode of Stranger Things in Season 4 that it rivals the budget of HBO Max’s House of the Dragon. We’ll find out soon enough if Netflix’s investment in Stranger Things will pay off. Speaking of Stranger Things, Netflix confirmed in February that the series’ fifth season will be the last.
