Once that happens, there’s no going back.
FINALE OF DEVASTATION FULL
We hinted at it a little bit in Season Two but we want a full blown Upside Down invasion, and that’s something you just can’t hit the rewind on that one. We’ve always wanted the Upside Down encroaching into Hawkins in a more massive way. MATT DUFFER: We knew this was going to be the penultimate season and so we were able to do a lot of stuff that we haven’t been able to do before, like the four gate collision. That’s something we don’t answer in volume two, and that is really the key plot point, the key question that is going to drive our final season as we try to wrap up this story and give the rest of the answers out. ROSS DUFFER: The biggest one being we set up in the Volume One finale how the Upside Down is stuck in time on the day of Will’s disappearance. There’s still a few of the question marks that remain.
We really wanted to give the audience a lot of the big answers.
We knew we wanted to get there with this season and that’s obviously the big bombshell in the volume two. We’ve always wanted to go back in the lab and the origin of all this stuff, and so, we joked in the writer’s room, this was like Stranger Things revelations. ROSS DUFFER: It’s been a long time coming. From a plotting standpoint, how long have you been salivating to drop that bombshell on the audience? He thinks he’s defeated her and Max’s friends, and he’s making her watch him kill Max and unlock the door to Hawkins, where he can send through his monsters. So, it was an unusual circumstance that we’ll never probably find ourselves in again.ĭEADLINE: You answer many of the mysteries about the Upside Down in that moment when Vecna taunts Eleven. There are scenes that move the plot forward, and it was like oh, wait this is a real opportunity to not only set him up as a guitarist who plays a role in the finale, but it’s like oh, we could really enrich his character and Chrissy’s character in a way that I think was super impactful. I always felt we could set up Eddie better in Episode One, this scene between him and Chrissy in the woods, the drug deal scene. So, this year for the first time, we had six months off and we were able to finish all of the scripts, look at how it all played as a whole and rework some of the earlier scripts to make character moments more resonant in the back half of the episode, I think we were able to go back on a re-read and go, you know what, I’ve always thought that scene could be better. It’s hard to make big pivots and it’s hard to look at the season as a whole. It’s always a little bit frantic and scary.
We direct the first two episodes, and then, we start to frantically try to finish the season up as production continues. On a typical season, we’ve written about four or five of the scripts, and Ross and I stop working on the scripts because we’re directing the first two episodes. MATT DUFFER: We were shooting for about three, four weeks when we got shut down. There are actually scenes in this season - because we had all the scripts, so we shot all out of order - there was the scene when they leave Mike’s basement, and they’re outside. MATT DUFFER: We’re always racing against time with our younger actors, who got six months older than when we initially started. 'Stranger Things' Q&A: Sadie Sink On Max's Fate & That Heart-wrenching Finale SpeechĭEADLINE: Before we get into the Season 4 plot bombshells, what were the biggest inconveniences the pandemic brought to Season 4? Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer & Vecna They also hint at where they’ll take viewers and their cast in the fifth and final season of the groundbreaking series, as they try to stick the landing on the finale of a show that in its way is as groundbreaking as Game of Thrones, True Detective and The Sopranos, all of which are as much touchstones to the possibilities of storytelling in the streaming age as are the ’80s horror film influences that crackle through the episodes. In a wide-ranging chat, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer break down the seismic bombshell storytelling reveals that concluded the season. The battle between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) claimed a few beloved characters, wrecked the town of Hawkins, Indiana, and nearly crashed Netflix servers when the final two installments - nearly four hours worth - premiered Thursday at midnight. EXCLUSIVE, SPOILERS ABOUND! If you haven’t watched the final two episodes that wrap Season 4 of Stranger Things on Netflix, you won’t want to read further until you’ve done so.
