After a while, he says something is wrong and informs Brenner that Six and Dr. Ellis are dead. The alarm goes off and a commotion is heard in the hallway.

Development

The fourth season was announced by Netflix on September 30th 2019.[10][11][12][13] A minute-long announcement teaser was released on YouTube, revealing the logo of the fourth season. The teaser also showed a ticking grandfather clock, along with the tagline "We're not in Hawkins anymore", leading news outlets to speculate and theorise that the show's new setting would be Russia. The post credit scene of the third season finale (The Battle of Starcourt) was set in a Russian prison, further giving evidence about the show relocating to Russia.[14] It was initially unknown if David Harbour would return for the fourth season, as Hopper was thought to have been killed in an explosion after Joyce closed the Gate to the Upside Down, but in a teaser released in February 2020, Hopper was revealed to be alive, but stranded and working in a Russian prison.[15] It is also not known if Eleven / Jane Hopper will get her powers back in this episode, after losing them in the third season finale (The Battle of Starcourt). It is speculated that the season will take place in 1986, following on from Season 1 (1983), Season 2 (1984) and Season 3 (1985). It has also been speculated that if the season does indeed take place in 1986, then the Chernobyl nuclear disaster could tie into the season.

Writing

On November 6th, 2019 (Stranger Things Day: the day Will Byers went missing in the Upside Down in 1983), the show's writing room social media accounts revealed the title of the fourth season's first episode: "Chapter One: The Hellfire Club", and that it was written by The Duffer Brothers.[16] On June 18, 2020, the show's writing room social media accounts also released a photo of the completed scripts, revealing the fourth season is the first season since Season Two to have nine episodes and showing that "The Hellfire Club" is the first episode in the nine-episode season.[17][18][19]

Casting

By November 1 2019, casting had begun to add four new male characters to the fourth season's line-up, with three of the roles being teenagers and one of them being an adult. The teenaged roles were characterized as ranging "from a metalhead to an entitled jock to a character that sounds an awful lot like the twin of Fast Times at Ridgemont High stoner Jeff Spicoli", while the adult character was tied to the Russian storyline introduced during the third season. On February 14, 2020, Netflix confirmed that Tom Wlaschiha had been cast as a Russian malefactor. It was reported on October 27, 2020 that Maya Hawke's brother, Levon Thurman-Hawke, was cast in an undisclosed role. On November 20, 2020, Jamie Campbell Bower, Eduardo Franco, and Joseph Quinn were cast as series regulars while Sherman Augustus, Mason Dye, Nikola Djuricko and Robert Englund joined the cast in recurring roles for the fourth season. It is currently unknown if the new characters will debut in "The Hellfire Club".[20] On January 27, 2021, Jamie Campbell Bower was seen filming scenes in Atlanta, Georgia, whilst Matthew Modine was also seen on the set.

Release

"Chapter One: The Hellfire Club" will be released as the premiere episode of the fourth season of Stranger Things on Netflix. Fans theorised that the streaming service provider would drop the season sometime in mid to late 2021, though due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was unknown when it will really be released. In August 2021, the release date was confirmed as 2022. In February 2022, it was revealed that the first volume (including "The Hellfire Club") will be released on May 27, 2022.[21]

Marketing

A teaser trailer released in mid February 2020 was the first look at the season, which revealed the fate of Jim Hopper. It has since been revealed that the "Hellfire Club" is the name of a Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) group in the fourth season. It is not known if the teaser trailer footage is from "The Hellfire Club" or another episode in the fourth season. In late 2020, star Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) posted a selfie on social media, revealing the logo of The Hellfire Club. In early 2021, fans in Russia received mysterious packages, which included several Russian dolls, and a phone number (907-206-770). When this number is called, a voicemail from Yuri (one of the fourth season's new characters) would play, revealing Yuri runs a smuggling business. It has been theorized that Joyce and Murray will be smuggled into the Russian prison where Hopper is being held in an attempt to break Hopper out, but it is unknown if this will happen in The Hellfire Club.[22]

Reception

Paul Dailly of TV Fantastic gave the episode a 4.5 out of 5 stars staging "I wasn't sold initially on the characters being pulled apart because it felt like a forced development to tell different stories. After watching "Chapter One: The Hellfire Club," the writing is as strong as ever, and the characters are evolving in ways I didn't think possible before. (…) We've witnessed several bonkers twists on this show, so he may be able to escape from this horrifying encounter unscathed."[23]

Members of the press who have seen the first episode in advance wrote that it is "darker, more mature, and scare-heavy vibe". They also appreciate that there is more space for the characters.[24]
