In the sensible words of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), “Friends don’t lie.” Although we have not been straight-out lied to by Netflix, we did believe season 4 of Stranger Things would show up prior to 2022.
And it appears we aren’t the only ones frantically counting down the days for the Duffer Brothers-developed series to return. Case in point: One social networks user, called Xavier, quipped that he might have the brand-new season done by next week.
In reaction to this, Stranger Things star David Harbour joked on Instagram, “Ya boy Jim gonna bring the HEAT to 2022…(sorry, sorry). Go check out the sneak peek on every cast member’s Instagram. Psyched to work with Xavier who is directing all episodes of season 5!”
Unfortunately for Harbour, some fans believed this was the star validating a 5th season of the program. He later on clarified, “I can’t believe I have to do this, but in the age of internet click bait nonsense…the season 5 reference is a joke referring to a comment made on @netflix page about how long the show takes to film that I thought was funny. “
