‘Stranger Things’ star Winona Ryder fact-checks the show’s historical accuracy

Stranger Things star Maya Hawke has addressed Eddie Munson’s death on the Netflix series, and the possibility of a return.Joseph Quinn’s character was among a number of names that met their ends in the season four finale, having quickly become a fan favourite character on the series.As such, many fans have expressed their desire to see him come back, with one petition attracting tens of thousands of signatures.“I totally sympathise with fans who want to see more of him,” Hawke told NME, though she did have a caveat.“I feel like we can’t keep killing people and bringing them back to life – the same fans would be so annoyed! But I would love them to find a way to have Eddie’s ghost in the mix, just because Joe Quinn is such an awesome guy. He’s so much fun to have on set and such a great actor.”However, she did admit that returning to film without Quinn for the final season would be like “losing a weird limb”.Following the finale, Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers recently revealed that they originally planned to kill off Enzo (Tom Wlaschiha) too.“In terms of who makes it, who lives or dies, I think there was a version where Dimitri, aka Enzo, didn’t make it,” Matt told Collider.He added: “Then he ended up making it.

Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have confirmed that have gone back and re-edited past episodes of the show.The revelation came in a recent interview with the pair, where they admitted they made a mistake in season four by establishing Will Byers’s birthday in May, despite being previously established on the show as March 22.Speaking to Variety, Matt Duffer suggested they will go back and change the season two episode where the birthday was noted as March, as “‘May’ can fit in Winona’s mouth. So that would be us George Lucas-ing the situation.”Matt went on: “We have George Lucas’d things also that people don’t know about,” Ross adding: “You do have the physical copies though, the Blu-rays and stuff — you’d have to compare.”The latter also suggested they had changed elements to season four, volume one after it had already been released, saying: “Some of the visual effects.

Stranger Things star Maya Hawke has said she wants her character Robin to kiss somebody in the next season.Speculating on the storyline of the fifth and final season of the Netflix hit, the actor recently told NME she “trusts them completely” with her character.“I trust the [Duffer] brothers so much,” Hawke said. “If I was a writer and my actors were always going in the press talking about what they thought I should do with the character, I’d be like, ‘Uh, I got this?’ So I trust them completely to have a great story arc for Robin.”She then added her suggestion: “I hope she gets to kiss somebody – somebody she likes.

Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has revealed his character Will Byers is gay.After previously addressing fan speculation around Will’s sexuality and saying it was “up to the audience’s interpretation”, Schnapp has since confirmed rumours.“It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing,” the actor told Variety.“Now it’s 100 per cent clear that he is gay and he does love Mike [Finn Wolfhard]. But before, it was a slow arc.

Even though there was an incredibly long wait between Seasons 3 and 4, “Stranger Things” returned this summer to record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, with Season 4 in the rearview, all the talk surrounds the upcoming fifth season, which is set to be the series’ last.

season 4 finale.If there’s one newcomer who has made a lasting impact on, it is Jamie Campbell Bower who joined the Netflix series as the villainous Vecna aka Henry Creel aka One, who wreaked havoc on Hawkins, Indiana, in season 4. “First of all, I was genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude to be a part of the show,” Bower tells ET’s Will Marfuggi. “It really was a very strange and just beautiful experience, the whole process of getting the role, meeting Matt and Ross [Duffer] and working with the cast and the crew. I’ve got nothing but beautiful love to say.” Not only did the 33-year-old English actor have a great experience onset, but “relished” in getting to play such an epic role in the latest, massive installment of the hit series.

Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has opened up about the “heartbreaking” ending to season four.In the two-and-a-half-hour-long finale, Sink’s character Max Mayfield was gruesomely mangled by the mind-stalking Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), leaving her broken body in the hands of long-time love interest Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin).“It really is just so sad,” Sink told Entertainment Weekly. “When you’re putting yourself in that moment and then you’re with someone like Caleb, who I’ve known since I was very little, sometimes things can feel very real on that set.

Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers have responded to Millie Bobby Brown’s recent criticism of the show.Brown, who plays Eleven in the Netflix fantasy series, participated in a video interview with The Wrap in which she and her co-star Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) were asked what they want for their characters in the fifth and final season.Agreeing with Schnapp’s view that the Duffer Brothers “need to kill” some characters, Brown said: “It’s way too big. Last night, we couldn’t even take one group picture because there was like 50 of us. I was like, ‘You need to start killing people off’.“The Duffer brothers are two sensitive Sallies that don’t want to kill anyone off.

Note: Spoilers ahead. The two supersized episodes that capped off Season 4 (now streaming on Netflix) should have been divided into shorter segments.

Netflix is taking an internal look at its spending habits on content after multiple rounds of layoffs (L.A. Times reporting 300 employees were let go recently) and axing multiple animated projects such as the Ava DuVernay-produced “Wings of Fire.” With that in mind, they’ve been reportedly spending $30 million an episode on the fourth season of “Stranger Things” and will continue to spend more cash.

season 4 is here. And it promises to deliver a satisfying -- if not deadly -- end to the biggest, most watched installment of the Netflix original series from the Duffer Brothers. With Vecna showing no signs of slowing down, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) struggling to regain her powers and the gang split between Hawkins, Indiana and California, things are not looking good as our favorite high school heroes prepare for the battle of their lives. And based on comments from the cast, notably Joseph Quinn, who joined this season with the breakout role as Eddie Munson, not everyone will make it out alive.

Stranger Things season four has released its first full-length trailer for the remaining two episodes.

Even though there was a huge delay between Seasons 3 and 4 of “Stranger Things,” the Duffer Brothers’ massively popular Netflix series returned in May and, once again, became a juggernaut for the streaming service. But the episodes that dropped several weeks ago aren’t the entire season, and two more, super-sized, episodes are on the way.

Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn has teased the ending of the Netflix hit’s fourth season, saying the action is “just carnage”.Volume two of the sci-fi thriller will premiere on July 1 with two feature-length episodes; the penultimate episode clocks in at one hour and 25 minutes, while the finale – the show’s longest instalment yet – runs for two hours and 30 minutes. A teaser trailer of the final two episodes was released earlier this month.In a new interview with The Guardian, Quinn – who plays this season’s new addition, the heavy-metal-loving, guitar-wielding Eddie Munson – spoke briefly about the secret ending of Stranger Things 4.Joking about the consequences of revealing anything – “They’ve got my family tied up somewhere and if I spoil anything, I’ll never see them again” – Quinn explained that a scene involving a guitar would feature in the season’s closing.

Stranger Things have expressed their regret over killing off a new character in the first episode of season four.Seven new episodes (or ‘chapters’) of the hit sci-fi fantasy landed on Netflix late last month, serving as the first volume of the current run.
