“I know you’re frightened. You’re terribly frightened by what you’ve seen. But I’m not gonna lie to you. Your friends are not prepared for this fight. Hawkins will fall.” So begins the voiceover for the trailer for the final two episodes of Stranger Things 4. And it’s exposive.
Per the logline: It’s been six months since the Battle of Starcourt, which brought terror and destruction to Hawkins. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends are separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces, presenting a gruesome mystery that, if solved, might finally put an end to the horrors of the Upside Down.
Stranger Things 4 Vol. 1 surged to the top of the Most Popular English-language TV series on Netflix all-time list, racking up 286.79 million hours of viewing time worldwide from May 25-27. That bests the previous record-holder, season two of Bridgerton, which had 193 million hours of watch time over its opening weekend in March.
