Stranger Things executive producer and director Shawn Levy spoke to Collider and gave an update on the much-awaited season 4. Levy said that as much as it pained the viewers that it was taking so much time for the season to release, it pained Matt, Ross( Duffer brothers) and him more. He further added that the production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Levy talking about the upcoming season said that "We chose Season 4 to be by far, and I mean, by far, far, far, the most ambitious of the seasons."

The Duffer brothers want to direct a certain number of episodes every year and he has to direct some episodes every year. He added, "It's still a very small group and the controls are rigorous on each episode and on anything that the franchise does, whether it's the drive-through experience in LA or a Nike sneaker that was put out in the summer of 2019, we see and to approve it all." Season 4 of Stranger Things will focus on the back story of Eleven played by Millie Bobby Brown.
