Stranger Things season 4 will have 9 episodes, which is right in line with the 8-9 episode format earlier seasons have followed. Unfortunately, it’s now become even more likely that Stranger Things season 4 will instead fall into the same trap as its predecessors of thinking “more is more.” Stranger Things season 4 needs a smaller story to bring back this tone, not the trailer’s more “ epic” approach that will likely drown out subtle moments entirely.

It is in such quiet scenes, like the beginning of Mike and El’s tentative relationship, Joyce’s early interactions with a taciturn-but-sincere Hopper, or the devastating discovery of Will’s (fake) body that Stranger Things season 1 truly soared and was able to prove its full potential. This issue was less prevalent in Stranger Things season 2 but the beginnings of a large scope could be seen in the introduction of numerous new characters, which inevitably resulted in fewer quiet scenes shared by the central cast. With so many subplots and so much action overlapping, the Stranger Things season 3 had a far larger scope than season 1 but left viewers cold in some aspects. The last plot, in particular, was a wasted opportunity, with Billy’s eventual redemption being an afterthought where it could have been an impactful moment in a quieter, less stuffed season of Stranger Things. Stranger Things Seasons 2 & 3 Went Too Bigįocusing on the blooming relationship between Jonathan and Nancy in Stranger Things season 1, for example, worked better than season 3’s attempts to balance Dustin, Steve, and Robin uncovering a Soviet takeover of Hawkins, Mike and El breaking up, or Billy becoming possessed by the Mind Flayer.

Despite the Stranger Things season 4 trailer’s epic feel, this is not what makes the series work, as the best moments have been atmospheric, slow-burn plots and subtle character work, rather than large-scale action. The biggest problem with Stranger Things season 3 was that it had too many sprawling plot threads for viewers to keep track of, and the series sacrificed believable character drama for the sake of bigger action. The Stranger Things season 4 trailer confirms Shawn Levy’s comments from 2021 that the long-awaited season will be a bigger and more mature affair than its predecessors, with “ storytelling is more epic and cinematic than we’ve ever attempted before.” This may be a bad thing for those disappointed by Stranger Things season 3, however.

It had a superpowered heroine, a toothy monster, and shadowy government agents killing civilians, but the tone was nonetheless surprisingly intimate, and many of the strongest moments came from the believable interplay between the talented cast.
Despite this dramatic summary, Stranger Things season 1 owed its inspiration to Prisoners and other dark domestic dramas as much as the work of John Carpenter and Steven Spielberg.
