What Time will ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 be on Netflix?

COVID has delayed so many things from our lives, but one of the most heartbreaking setbacks was Stranger Things season 4. Good news, then: after nearly three years, the show is finally back, and scarier than ever.

The fourth installment of the hit Netflix series takes place over spring break, six months after the epic battle against the Mind Flayer at Starcourt Mall. The Byers and Eleven no longer live in Hawkins and have settled in sunny California, far away from the rest of the gang. As the group is separated for the first time, they have to deal with both PTSD and the difficulties of high school, all at once. Meanwhile, an even more horrifying supernatural threat is emerging that is sure to mess with the gang even more than before.

Now that Stranger Things Season 4 is more a reality than a far-fetched dream, here’s a quick guide on when it will be available to stream, so that you don’t miss a single episode.

Stranger Things season four is split into two parts, with the first half premiering on Friday, May 27, and the second half on Friday, July 1.

WHAT TIME WILL STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 BE ON NETFLIX?

HOW MANY EPISODES ARE IN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4?

Stranger Things season 4 is the show’s biggest season yet, as its runtime is nearly twice the length of its previous seasons (though that’s in episode length, not number of episodes).
